Giuseppe is a very accommodating host! He allowed us to check in early because there are no guest from the previous day. This is a huge advantage for us because our train arrive early. We walk from the Santa Apolonia station, which is not far from the flat. The best way is to find the Fardo museum which is 20 meters from the flat. There are quite a few stairs from the bottom so travelers with large luggage like us might have a bit of work out when checking in. But Giuseppe within 5 minutes once we called him. And the apartment is clean and tidy. Appliances are at high quality. You can find cooking appliances, cutteries,hair dryer(very important to me), towels,plenty of maps and infos. The bed head light can adjust dim to bright so that's handy! The area is Alfama which is the first original housing in Lisboa. An earthquake in 1755 destroyed almost everything and people in respect of these architectural distinctions they reproduced exactly as they were when rebuilding this area so you will find the winding hilly streets engraved full of tiny apartments with beautiful porcelain decorations. Be cautious with your belongings at the touristy area, we witness a pick-picketer being caught on the famous tram 28. Belem is my favorite place among the trip. The Belem tower and the Jerome monastery is an interesting site. But you must must must try the famous egg tarts at the Pasteis de Belem! They are GORGEOUS! And you simply can not been to Lisboa and not try them! I had about 5 and GOD they are addictive!!!: ) Taxi here is not too over priced so if you have 2-3 people taxi is a good way to navigate this city. Overall we are satisfied and will visit again! Thanks Giuseppe!
