Maria was an amazing host! Her flat was just perfect for what we needed - it was clean, convenient, spacious and well stocked. Maria gave us lots of great recommendations and advised us to skip certain areas (which was helpful) since we like to avoid touristy scenes. Her flat location was perfect because it is tucked away in a quiet street in a great centralized neighborhood. We walked to everywhere, the only time we took the metro was to get to the airport. Lisbon is one of my favorite cities now because it hasn't been commercialized with mainstream shops yet, you can still feel and taste the local culture and flavors. We will definitely be back. Thank you Maria!!

LISBON TAXI TIPS:
Here is something irrelevant for the flat but relevant for your Lisbon trip. If you search for information on taxi in Lisbon, you probably will come across feedbacks on dishonest taxi drivers. It is so true (well I was one of the unlucky ones)! Even though after I questioned driver's route when it looked like he made a detour (I was watching it on my phone like a hawk) and made sure that the meter was on too, he still had the nerve to try to rip me off. The meter only showed 9.30 euros, then the shady driver asked me for 25 euros and said there's an airport fee (no such thing). He gave up after he learned that I knew he was ripping me off and especially I have his number by then, so I gave him the meter amount. I will either take Uber or take the metro.
