I stayed at Sofia’s apartment for 4 months while in Lisbon for a project. I really loved my stay and felt at home from the start. You can just unpack your bags and start living there. Moreover, Sofia was the perfect host; always helpful. The neighborhood is also a nice living area, quiet and friendly. Even as a woman alone I could walk home at night and feel safe. Around he corner there is a little shop for al your basics and you can easily reach big supermarkets (Lidl, Centro Colombo) or go out for diner in typical Portuguese restaurants. The Alto dos Moinhos metro station is only 5 min walking from the apartment and gives you a lot of freedom to start exploring Lisbon and the surroundings (go to sete Rios train station for Sintra or Cais do Sodré for Carcavelos and Cascais). If I will be in Lisbon again for work or on holiday I will definitely stay again at Sofia’s place
