Well we choosed Erina's flat because of the location and after having read all the previous comments. I only can praise Erina's welcome and confirm all the comments. Erina's father came pick us up near the airport, and took us and luggage to the flat, in the way he gave us some advices on restaurants and explained us how Lisbon has changed for better. At the flat we had the beers in the fridge, delicious pastry and a Favaios liqueur Waiting for us ( drink with ice cubes). I felt they welcome their guest so generously just because they are generous. The flat resumes contemporary Lisbon: well designed, user-friendly, sunny soul, safe and hassle-free, tradition married with modernity and beautiful. The location is the best: in the Baixa Pombalina, near the relooked Praça do Comércio ( where you have the tourist information and the excellent Lisbon Shop for souvenirs), between bairro alto (west) and Castelo/ Sé/Alfama (east). With the new (free) lifts of baixa and Castelo, anyone can climb from the baixa to the castle... Restaurants and groceries are located extremely close, in this flat you should explore Lisbon without using a car... Of course, 28 tram is just near. Baixa Chiado metro station is 3 minutes walk away.
It was a wonderfully stay in a great European city, I believe Lisbon is already "the" smart touristic choice in Europe, from 3 days to 1 week there is plenty of interesting things to do and still several off- the-beaten track options. This flat and the generous hosts will make your stay 5 stars. Highly recommended.
