Maria is a wonderful host and the apartment is truly special. Her warm welcome, complimentary bottle of wine (and sparkling wine for New Years's), plus fruit and fresh bread made us feel immediately welcome both at Maria's flat and in Lisbon itself. The location is perfect, a quiet street nestled in between two wonderful centers of activity: Baixa and Alfama. We felt more like were living in Lisbon than just feeling like observing tourists. And we could watch the fireworks from the balcony!
I highly recommend Maria's flat.
