Tiago’s apartment is a gem! Located in the center of Lisbon, it faces a huge park that fills the view from every window. The flat is huge and beautiful, and I couldn’t help but think what a great place this would be to live. The open living room is flooded with light and gives onto a wide balcony. The bedroom is very big with plenty of storage and more incredible views. The bathroom was immaculate and is modern and super cool! The kitchen had everything we could need and more.
Tiago was a fantastic, thoughtful host and although self check-in meant we didn’t meet him, I heard from him every day as he made sure we were comfortable and happy.
The best old neighbourhoods are just a short walk. The metro is steps away though we never bothered because Uber here costs peanuts (often 2-4 euros per ride) and in general we were surprised and thrilled at how inexpensive Lisbon is compared to other cities we’ve visited like Rome and Paris.
All in all, I can only say that you’ll be lucky to stay here! If you appreciate space, privacy, light, a view, and having everything close by, you couldn’t do better than Tiago’s gorgeous apartment!
By the way, we ate dinner at a wonderful restaurant called Pesca, in a charming area about 10-15 minutes away, and had a meal we won’t forget! Also, there’s great piri piri chicken and sides at a hole in the wall within 10 minutes called Frangasqueira Nacional. Have fun!
