Oh my goodness! Our wonderful temporary home in Lisboa could not have been better. From the very first time we sent a message to Ana and Fatima their communication was spot on! Quick... informative... and helpful.
We arrived very early in Lisbon and wanted to spend the day sightseeing. BUT we didn't want to drag suitcases around with us. They were so accommodating and helpful given our circumstances.
The apartment is PERFECT for a stay in Lisbon. It is airy, clean and most importantly... COMFORTABLE! When we arrived in October, it was unseasonably hot... and we were so grateful to have the aircon in the bedroom. It was always a joy to come home to such an incredibly comfortable bed after a days exploring.
As far as hostessing skills go... Ana and Fatima were spot on! We were welcomed when we arrived, shown the apartment, and given some really tasty traditional treats! (which didn't last very long!)
Fatima gave us some recommendations for places to eat. We followed these and now can also recommend Bistro Gato Prado (just up the road!) 10 out of 10... we loved it so much we went back for a second evening! Farol Santa Louiza ... absolutely delicious! You might want to make reservations with these restaurants.
The apartment is so well situated for exploring Liboa. You have the 28 tram stopping right outside your door! Our tip... buy a 24 hour travel pass (at a Metro Station). It costs 6 euro and gives you access to all the transport in Lisbon (including the tram and elevators). When I say 24 hours... it is 24 hours! So if you start at 10am... it is valid till 10am the next morning.
Thank you Ana and Fatima for a lovely stay in your beautiful city. Till we return to Lisboa... Obrigado! :)
