Laura and Diogo were very friendly hosts, answering our many questions promptly beforehand. Laura is lovely and met us at the apartment to show us how to use the appliances and provided a map of the city, pointing out the main places of interest. One very big plus for us was that Laura and Diogo were easily contactable during our stay if we needed advice.

The apartment is immaculate, both in terms of furnishings and cleanliness. It really is as lovely as the photos and has all the utensils you will need, as well as providing extra little things such as tea/coffee, essential toiletries, washing powder, dishwasher tablets etc.

The apartment is in a fantastic location, set one street back from Avenida da Liberdade but, because of the excellent double glazing, is extremely quiet. There is a metro stop and train station very close by and the marvellous Elevador da Gloria is located at the end of the street. We didn't use the metro very much as everwhere is within walking distance, however the train station was very convenient for a day trip to Sintra.

There is an excellent restaurant called Quermesse in the same street that we highly recommend.

It was a pleasure meeting Laura and we will definitely stay in the apartment again when we return to Lisbon.
