Sergio was a very gracious host. We had him send out a taxi to pick us up at the airport and bring us straight to his apt. He made sure to follow up with the cabbie while we were being picked up and was waiting at the apt when we got there with his trademark *cheese and wine* welcome.

He spent a good amount of time with us to give us tips on walking routes, attractions, restaurants to visit, etc.

The view was as wonderful as in his pictures...in fact better- his picture only shows half of it. It's hard to fit the whole view into the frame without the use of a panoramic assist. The apt is located really close to the famous tram 28 stop which made it really easy to get back home in the evenings. On the way down hill, the tram also goes through several amazing viewing points in the Alfama area.

We were fortunate that it was sunny and warm through most of our stay in Lisboa although the fog rolled in one of the days and wouldn't lift so we went off to Sintra that day.

Overall it was a lovely three day stay at Sergio and Filipa's lovely apt. Thank you for being such a lovely host and happy new year!
