The apartment is spacious and has everything we needed. It was very hot in August, but we used the portable air conditioning unit in the day and opened the windows in the evenings to cool the apartment down. Mariana is an excellent host and was easy to communicate with, and gave us good local tips. As mentioned in previous reviews, the apartment is close to the centre of Lisbon but the route is steep and uphill! We didn't mind this too much, and in fact a lot of Lisbon is steep, but this might be a consideration if you have large pieces of luggage or if you are less mobile.
