Three days in Lisbon and Maria's place is the perfect one for me.
Literally, 1 min from the Metro entrance. 1 min to the famous Tram #28 stop, bakery across the main street for breakfast, excellent Indian food at the street corner (30 secs.). 10 mins to city center by metro, 30 mins to Sete Rios Bus terminal. Definitely among the best location in the city.
Maria is very kind and hospitable. I arrived at 7:00 am and she opened the door for me just let me drop off my bag. She let me store the luggage after check out when there was no other guest moved in. Whenever you have a need, Maria answers.
The room is very big and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is also very very big and the drainage system is excellent.
It seems that there is lack of a ventilator in the kitchen, so the house will be full of smoke and smell of cooking (don't worry they smell good). If you close the door well, the smell would not enter the room. This was not a problem for me but might be for someone sensitive to smoke.
I had a wonderful stay in Lisbon thanks to Maria's host. Muito obrigado!
Note: if you are going to stay at Maria's place, go try out the Indian food and don't go to the Delta cafe.
