Maria's apartment was ideal for our long weekend in Lisbon. it was easily accessible from the bus and metro stops, and a short walk from the centre of the city. Despite being very close to the smart shops of the Avenida there were very reasonable restaurants, bars and small supermarkets nearby, which Maria gave us good advice on. The apartment was exactly as described and shown in the photos. It was very clean and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay, including 2 hobs, kettle and microwave which we used a couple of times when it was pouring with rain and we didn't feel like going out to eat. The radiator was very effective on those wet evenings. Maria's communication was always excellent and she was very patient when our flight was delayed. She was friendly and helpful, and we enjoyed the welcome gift of port! We had always stayed in hotels on previous trips there but would very happily stay at this apartment again.
