Katia was a great host. She gave us good advice and helped give directions to our taxi driver. On arrival, she greeted us, gave us a tour of the apartment and had left us some water, a bottle of wine and pastes de nata - the taste of Lisbon! The apartment is huge with plenty of space for the 4 of us. It was very clean and Katia provided bathrobes as well as towels. Katia also provided a cot and highchair for our 4 month old. Don't be put off by the initial appearance of the neighbourhood. There's quite a lot of graffiti but the area is perfectly safe and it's easy to walk into the city centre or to the train station in 5-10 mins. Overall, we had a great stay and would highly recommend.
