Maggie was an amazing host! Kind, thoughtful, and immediately treated me like her family. I can tell that she is very passionate about her space and about doing the right thing for her guests. She picked me up from the bus station herself and gave me a little tour of Lisbon and her neighborhood before taking me up to the apartment and showing me around. She also gave me a few neighborhood tips and a huge (117 pages!) PDF of different lookout spots and other places to explore around the city. Her apartment is tucked away up narrow stairs in some twisty side streets in Alfama, through alleys that are easily passed and therefore quiet and off the main path. Maggie made sure I would be able to find my way back home at night before setting off. The space was perfect for my needs – I was traveling alone and wanted a comfortable, cozy space to rest my head; this apartment fit the bill perfectly. She left her mother’s homemade jam and some port for me to enjoy, as well as tea and coffee, which was very thoughtful and lovely! She thought of everything I might need – it ended up raining part of the time I was in Lisbon, but not to worry, Maggie had umbrellas for me to use. The apartment was also close to a major bus station so very easy to get around. I would gladly stay with Maggie again. Thank you so much!
