I highly recommend Manuel’s cozy flat. It’s exceptionally clean and very nicely equipped with everything you might need. There’s no TV which made me quite happy, really. We didn’t go to Portugal to watch TV! Manuel was very helpful, giving us a really good orientation to his place and providing us with maps, tourist guides and his own tips. Just about everything is in walking distance (up hill both ways!). Manuel joked that the three flights of stairs up to his flat were our training for the hills of Lisbon. He wasn’t wrong :)
Thanks, Manuel. We hope to return.
