Carla is an extraordinarily hospitable hostess whose excellent communication made us feel comfortable even before our journey, and whose warmth and helpfulness made us feel immediately welcome on arrival at the apartment, as if we were old friends. The flat is well-furnished with a comfortable bed, a living room to relax in (with the option to watch lots of TV channels), a small kitchen, and a bathroom/shower. It was very clean and towels and bed had been prepared before we arrived The flat is on the ground floor of a traditional tiled house located within walking distance of all major attractions (shopping, bars, restaurants, transport etc.) yet is still very quiet at night. The area felt very safe and we found some excellent restaurants only a few minutes' walk away. There are a number of grocery shops nearby too. It was particularly nice to experience an authentic old Lisbon neighbourhood without the trappings of tourism. Highly recommended. Thank you Carla!
