Rita was an amazing host getting us into Lisbon. She picked us up from the airport - on Christmas day! - and took us to the apartment to make sure we knew where everything was and how to use appliances, etc. She left a bottle of excellent wine and chocolate bars to welcome us in and we immediately felt at home!

The apartment is exactly as shown, and the neighborhood was beautiful. The streets are a bit of a maze, so we definitely recommend either a very detailed map to bring with you, or an offline map you can use on your phone - we didn't use our cell service so we could only rely on random wireless internet or our GPS - which was SUPER handy at times. There is internet available at the apartment, so we never had issues figuring things out from there.

We stayed in generally the same neighborhoods, so we walked to most places, but the street trolleys and buses were everywhere around us. And the metro stations were also within walking distance. Rita also helped arrange a cab for us the day we left - although if you map the address it's off by about a block compared to where you actually are... so keep that in mind.

We highly recommend this apartment or considering any of Rita's other apartments. It made our honeymoon one of a kind and we will always remember it.
