Flippe is a wonderful host! He met me in the neighborhood and helped me with my bag. He even provided coffee, teas, milk and bread for breakfast in the morning which was thoughtful and helpful. His house is cottage-like and very clean. One thing to note, the shower is compact, if you are obese you will have a hard time getting in.
The location of the house is good. A grocery store and cafe are down the street. Also close to the beautiful Edward VII Park and Marques de Pombal Square where there is a metro(subway) station and place to catch the hop-on-off tour buses.
Lisbon’s airport is in the city so in many neighborhoods you will hear the planes. If you are a light sleeper, simply pack foam ear plugs and the plane noise won’t be an issue.
Overall great experience. Would stay here again. Thanks Flippe!
