Sérgio’s listing stood out. My first trip to Lisbon, and a chance to visit a city I’ve always had a romantic notion to explore, and suddenly the time arrived. His listing tipped the decision scales, and past reviews of his ‘guidebook’ made me book the apartment and then flights. Just 4 days/3 nights to explore and recce the place for a longer visit next time (or not!).
From the moment I booked, Sérgio was the perfect host. Despite being unable to check me in, he was virtually present throughout my self-checkin, and provided a fabulous recommendation for a bar and a bite to eat in a local square on my arrival. I ventured to some of the spots in his guidebook, and it informed my runs around the city to capture sights and sounds, and the amazing views. The bar recommendations were fabulous: I found Park for a sunset drink through a quick internet search of the best rooftop bars, only to check Sérgio’s guide and see it’s a “must see”. And À Cevicio is AMAZING - also in Sérgio’s guide!
