The host really set the bar for hospitality. I am going to take a few notes from our stay an incorporate them into our own location. First, the host picked us up from the airport and took us around several neighborhoods in Lisbon. The apartment was great and very spacious. Additionally, the host provided a number of maps and magazines that were very helpful. If you love Fado, this is the neighborhood for you. There are many restaurants around the apartment and the neighbors are super friendly. Walking home every night hearing Fado booming out of the neighborhood was a great experience. We are walkers and in the two days we spent at the apartment, we walked approximately 30 mins around the apartment and found good shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Visiting the large market (Mercado da Ribeira) is a must. It was about a 25 min walk or 15 min metro ride from the apartment. Finishing it up with drinks either along the waterfront or in the entertainment district in that area was a great evening. Our hosts also provided a great list of additional experiences and directions. We took the train to Caicais (about an hour) and Sintra (45 mins). This apartment was great for us and the hosts were definitely some of the best that we have ever had.
