André was the perfect host, taking time to talk us through all there is to do in Lisbon as well as some very helpful tips for day trips (if going to Sintra get the bus straight to Pena Palace, then take the pretty walk back to town via the Moorish castle). The flat is ideal for two, with a small but well-equipped kitchen and cosy living area. The location is great for exploring - most key sights are no more than a 15 minute walk and you are just minutes from stunning views at Miradouro de Santa Luzia and Largo das Portas do Sol. My only advice is if you are unlucky enough to get rain while in Lisbon, maybe bring some ear plugs as it can be quite loud on the skylight above the bed. And do eat at Santo Antonio restaurant which is about 10 paces from the flat - excellent, hearty Portuguese fare.
