Our stay at Ricardo's was amazing for so many reasons. First, Ricardo was a wonderful host — on arrival, he welcomed us with a bottle of wine and gave us several recommendations for food, Fado, and things to do. This was our first international trip with our 6-month old, and Ricardo set up a crib before we arrived. Second, the apartment was so clean, quirky, and had everything we needed. We packed light so we were able to do laundry. Third, the city-center location could not have been any better. We arrived by train from Lagos and were at the apartment within a 5-minute walk. You can see the Rossio station from the apartment, and from there, we took the train to Sintra (definitely recommend doing a day trip there...and Ricardo even has Sintra maps/brochures in the apartment). The city is right outside the door, with lively plazas and delicious restaurants. Surprisingly, the apartment blocks out all the noise, so even while the nightlife picked up, our baby was able to sleep in peace and quiet. We would definitely stay here again!
