We had a great time in Lisbon staying at Pedro’s place. It is in a fantastic location, with plenty of restaurants nearby so we didn’t have to go far at night to find a great dinner. He provided many kitchen items so that if we had wanted to cook, it would have been easy. However, we preferred to just have coffee/tea and a small bit of something for breakfast at home and eat out the rest of the time.
He also provided plenty of towels, tissue, and other bath supplies such as shampoo. We were very happy after traveling for 2 weeks to find a washing machine and detergent. It was like being home.
I was traveling with a huge bag full of things for a 6 month journey that I didn’t need in Lisbon, and I didn’t want to lug that beast up the stairs. Pedro was kind enough to store it for me in his apartment, which I very much appreciated. He also called a taxi right to the door for me so I could easily get to the train station.
It was nice to have the little balcony so that we could watch the activity in the lively Bica area. Lots of fun!
