Claudia welcomed us at her apartment on time and showed us where everything was. She even had prepared a map and a thoughtful list of attractions to see while we were in town, which proved very useful to have the insights of a local. The view from her patio is beautiful - since her apartment is at the top of one of Lisbons 7 hills, there is a 180 degree view of the city, including the castle. The location is also good - it is about an 8 minute walk down the hill to the Avenue de Liberdade, which is one of the main avenues in the city.
