Maria is very nice and welcoming, like a relative you haven’t met before. The room was tidy, has it’s own bathroom, and has everything you need, including a heater (my stay was in December). It’s close to the public transportation, restaurants and the airport so it’s perfect for the days at the beginning or end of your trip and exploring Lisbon. It was nice to stay in a real family home for a change. She has a great artistic touch that lends a lot of character to the apartment.
