We loved our time in Lisbon and it was made all the better with a great place to stay. It is comfortable and has all the modcons. Misha arranged a pickup at the Estacao do Oriente when our train got in from Faro.
Goncalo met us at the apartment and showed us around. He was exuberant in his welcome and was the kind of guy you like immediately. He knows the city very well and had lots of ideas about where to go and how to get there. He was also there to help us out with a few small issues that cropped up during the week we were there.
It was easy to walk from the apartment to the Cais do Sodre to grab the train to Belem or a ferry across the bay, if you want to go to Sintra, the Rossio train station is walkable and when you want to check out the Castelo de Sao Jorge, just grab the Tram 28 as it goes by the door. Bairro Alta with restaurants and nightlife is just up the hill. We’d recommend SeaMe.
Lisbon is a very safe and walkable city. We would recommend that you get out and about and don’t let the hills slow you down. I am 72 and managed just fine.
