Ricardo's flat is situated on a small street in Lisbon and is close enough to walk into the centre of town but as the famous Tram 28 passes right by outside it's also possible to travel that way.
Other trams, busses and the metro are also nearby as is a very good supermarket and numerous nice restaurants and bars.
This is old Lisbon and there are many tiny streets which we enjoyed exploring but there are also green spaces nearby.
The flat, which felt felt comfortable and safe, has a small balcony off the sitting room which gives a birds eye view of the lively street below.
There is a well equipped kitchen with a toaster included amongst the appliances, something not included at every Air BnB.
Water at the flat is heated by a gas boiler which is arranged so that the supply of hot water is unlimited thus using the powerful shower is a pleasure.
We did feel that, overall, the bathroom would have benefited from a little updating but all its facilities worked perfectly well.
Ricardo is an excellent host, he arranged a car to collect us from the airport and was very quick to respond to any queries we had. At check in we were provided with plenty of information about the local area together with advice about visiting attractions in Lisbon and the surrounding area. With regard to public transport Ricardo provided some Viva Viagem cards (similar to London's Oyster card) which can be topped up to pay for use of trams, the metro and buses.
We very much enjoyed our short stay at Ricardo's flat and returned home feeling refreshed.
