I found Hugo and Silvia's apartment a great place to stay while spending time exploring Lisbon. It's bright, cosy, spotlessly clean and in an historic part of old Lisbon. Close to the tram, and a short, interesting walk to Santa Apolonia station and metro. The staircase to the 3rd floor was good practice for the rest of Lisbon which is built on hills. The apartment had everything I needed and a great view of the river.
Hugo is a very attentive host, he kept in touch and made me feel at home as well as offering lots of interesting sightseeing suggestions and an overview of their city. I really enjoyed my stay there and would recommend it to anyone.
