My family and I had spent Christmas in Erina's beautiful apartment. It was very clean, well stocked and it felt like home. She was a wonderful host. Unfortunately I didn't meet her but spoke to her over the phone. The place is well situated, less than 5 minutes walking to many restaurants, Praca do Comercio, Santa Justa, the famous tram stop to go up to the castle etc.
A good grocery store is literally next door and there is a smaller one a couple of houses down the road.
There is an elevator in the house but it needs to be accessed by two short flights of steps initially.
Parking was expensive but there is a cheaper alternative a bit farther.
Erina was kind enough and offered to order bacalhau for us for Christmas. Unfortunately we cancelled the order because my husband didn't want to take the car out of the garage. We felt terrible about it though.
One small thing I may suggest to improve this already perfect apartment: a small breakfast set in the kitchen. It would add to the "home" feeling.
I loved loved the original tiles on the walls and the big shutters!
I highly recommend Erina's place because she is a warm, helpful host and the apartment itself is very nice.
