Stayed at the Refuge for nearly three weeks in April and May of this year. Absolutely fantastic stay. The apt is ideal for exploring all of Lisbon. There’s certainly a bit of nightlife in the area, but nothing extreme and actually quite fun. Apt was super clean and well-kitted out. But perhaps most important of all, the host family could not have been more welcoming or helpful. Catarina had tons of advice and suggestions for my stay, from great restaurant tips to day trips. And Paulo and their Dad went well out of their way to assist and guide me, including an impromptu tour of the city… I can’t say enough good things about them. I hope to spend another little sabbatical there again soon ;)
