Carlota was an excellent host, she was available when we arrived to show us the apartment and provided great recommendations for Lisbon. The neighborhood around the apartment is fairly touristy because it is near the castle, but other areas are easily accessible. The apartment also has a beautiful view of the water! Lisbon is a lovely city to walk around and taxis are cheap. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The bedrooms are pretty small but the living room is a decent size. I would say our only issue was that the bed was a bit hard - just a thin mattress on wooden slats without a box spring.
