Despite the non-stop rain the particular weekend on which we visited, we absolutely loved Lisbon and staying at Duarte and Joana's apartment made it all the better! We never had the pleasure of meeting the owners, but a British woman named Sarah gave us a very warm and personal welcome. It was great to have a dry place to come home to and the apartment was very well located - close to the metro, the famous 28 tram and very central. While small (actually, more narrow than small - it seems that is how most apartments in the area are laid out), it had everything we needed. The place got a bit dark in some areas, but this was also due to the fact that the sun never came out while we were there. Overall - we would highly recommend the place! Great value for money!
