Our stay at Filipa's apartment was really fantastic, even better than we expected. The apartment has everything, all the utensils one could need, various teas, coffee, coffee machine, bath products, loads of towels, TV with English channels/films and Wi-Fi. With many local shops and supermarkets nearby, the apartment is also a great place to prepare meals, our favourite was brekie on balcony!

The metro and bus to the centre and airport is just around the corner, however a stroll into the centre is only about 20 minutes, which we did everyday, stopping off at local joints to have a snack or coffee. Lisbon coffee is ridiculous it's that good.

Filipa is a great host with a very warm heart. Herself and her father Zé really looked after us, providing us with brilliant tips of things to see and do in Lisbon. You can't beat local insights. You probably can't beat Casa do Zé...
