We had a fantastic time visiting Lisbon for the first time this March, and were amazed by the location of the flat. The apt was bright and clean and Leo's friend was patiently awaiting out arrival (although we were very late). The flat was easily accessible by the Metro straight from the airport (approx 30 mins) and a 5 min walk from Rossio square. He is also a 5 min walk from the train station that takes you to Sintra, a must see on your visit.
The location was so centrally located that we were able to ramble around the streets while keepign our bearings and making it back. The bedrooms were bright and simply decorated, beds were very comfortable and the shower was amazing !!! We are also located a short walk from the famous vintage tram at the lookout where you could see the entire city. There was also a really nice hostel/hotel at the lookout called Decedente Restaurante were we returned for the most amazing tosta mista (hamm and cheese toastie) and cocktails (try the Mr. Smith)
Leo's place is close to many other local restaurants, some of which we frequented more than once and even brought our friends back to. We also had a delicious meal at Leo's restaurant which was only a 15 minute walk down to the river from the apt. We would definitely encourage you to stop in for a delicious burger of your choice (veggie/vegan options are great), then head off on the rental bikes for a leisurely cycle to Belem tower and eventually to Pasteis de Belem.
I would advise ladies to leave their heels at home and expect some serious calf sculpting. Thanks again Leo for your hospitality!! we look forward to our visit again next June.
