We made an excellent connection with Teresa. She was flexible and accommodating and very easy to share an apartment with. We enjoyed our chats with her, getting to know her and her take on 'Portugal today'. The apartment was very pleasant, the room clean and bright, with the window overlooking a green space behind the building. The nights were quiet, the neighbourhood safe and friendly, and outside the tourist ghettos. The local people along the way were always eager to help. The location was terrific; very close (50 m away) to the subway station and one stop away from the airport going north for easy arrival/departure. Going south on the same line, a simple route to the everything.
