Maria had indeed been a Super Host even before we arrived by being friendly and communicative. She put us in contact with a taxi driver to pick us up from the airport and take us to the apartment which worked really well. Maria was really obliging and allowed us check in/ check out around our itinerary which allowed us to maximise our 2.5 days.
The apartment is small but charming and has everything you would need for 2 people - 3 may feel a bit of a squeeze. But the location is perfect for exploring and for restaurants, and is a safe area. It is also quiet even though only a short walk to restaurants. The apartment is at the top of the building so you need to be able to climb stairs but having said that Lisbon is not a city for high heels! Many cobbles and hills! Thank you Maria for helping to make our first experience of Lisbon so enjoyable.
