Rodrigo was a terrific host and has clearly outfitted his flat with his guests' comfort in mind. The flat is located in the heart of the historical district and truly central to everything we wanted to see and do. The busy promenades with shops and restaurants were right below us, which was so convenient, although a bit noisy in the evenings until about 10pm. The street sounds were fairly muffled with the windows and shutters closed, which was fine for us because the evenings were cool. The building itself was very quiet.
The kitchen was equipped with everything one could need for cooking in, but who would want to with all the wonderful restaurants and patisseries right outside our doorstep!
There were public transport options steps from the flat - buses, taxis, trams, and of course tuk tuks! We tried them all and also walked from one end of the city to the other as well. Lisbon has such an interesting history. I highly recommend starting off with a walking tour. We were led to historic places we never would have visited on our own and learning their historical significance made everything all the more impressive.
Thanks again Rodrigo! We look forward to staying at your flat again in the future!
