Edite's place is a great place to be. It's one of those places where everything is ideal. The walls are covered with unique and perfectly chosen art. There is central A/C, silent and cool, and although we didn't need it, even heated floors. The bed is firm but comfortable, and long enough that I fit - at 2m tall, I normally don't! The shower is hot, powerful and endless. There's a great view of the beautiful 25 de Abril Bridge, and even the river itself.
Edite herself was wonderful, generous to a fault, a perfect host. This is no agency holiday rental, her thoughtfulness and personal touch came through with everything. For example, she had actually gone through our profiles, read we were vegetarians, and printed out a list of good nearby places. I can honestly say that has never happened before to us!
Speaking of which, you could pretty much have a whole holiday just limiting yourself to the surrounding streets. Foodwise, there was plenty, even for vegetarians. There is a mouthwatering french patisserie nearby, La Boulangerie, where we had every breakfast we could. Different cuisines are represented well, including Italian and Indian, and even one of Portugal's unusually good McDonalds. There's also several groceries, and the kitchen is plenty to cook something up with. There's also an excellent museum/gallery nearby.
Although it does have an underground garage space suitable for a small car, we would recommend you not drive in Lisbon; the roads are very crazy, even from Sydney standards, and we found mapping apps often take us down streets really only fit for bikes. Besides, the public transportation system is excellent.
You can get to a nearby metro station in a 15 minute stroll, and from there its easy and quick to get pretty much anywhere, and there's just so much to see and do in Lisbon, with so much personality and flavour to it.
Our only regret from our Lisbon leg of our holiday is it wasn't longer. And I can't recommend Edite and her place highly enough.
