We spent four lovely, lazy days in Lisbon after a few days exploring Portugal by car. Despite initially not having a clue where to go or what to do were expertly guided by Sabine's charming emails to some amazing towns, beaches, bars and restaurants.

The flat is great, perfect for two, quiet but central. The terrace is a great sun trap and the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or afternoon drink. There is a lovely cool breeze that blows through it too.

If you aren't a fan of stairs you may find the 64 to the flat a challenge but then Lisbon is so hilly they will be good training for your legs.

Sabine is a great host, leaving lots of sweet touches to improve your stay. Highly recommended.
