We loved our all too brief stay at Maria's lovely and original apartment in Lisbon. The location is absolutely perfect, right smack downtown, but far enough away from the noisy bars that you don't hear them... The building is a beautiful old convent, which has been transformed into a condominium, so unexpected and quite stunning. We loved coming back to the serenity of the vaulted ceilings, and the beautiful stone steps after long walks around Lisbon. Another plus point in the "creature comforts" department is that the heating worked beautifully. It was an unexpectedly chilly and rainy weekend, but we didn't feel it at all. The kitchen is beautifully appointed, all brand new appliances, and everything was spotless. Definitely on our "we will come back" list
