Gustavo and Miguel are so kind and welcoming. Their place radiates serenity, and I instantly felt at home. The room is sunny, spotless, and inviting. It is thoughtfully outfitted with everything you need including a small desk and lots of hooks and hangers for your things. Be aware that the rooms lock from the inside but not the outside, but this was not a problem for me as I always use a portable travel safe. Gustavo and Miguel made lots of helpful suggestions for Lisbon. I found it easier often to take a bus than the metro into the center. Note that the apartment is about a 15-20-minute walk up some steep cobblestone streets from the metro, so if you have heavy bags it may be a good idea to use the hosts' pick-up service. On my last day, I was so appreciative that they got up at an ungodly hour to take me to the airport. For a small donation of €1, you can use the washing machine, and the kitchen is available to make meals. I loved the local neighborhood; there is a strong immigrant community and few tourists. It felt like a more authentic experience than staying in the center. Snack bar To Na Hora close by on Calçada do Poço dos Mouros has delicious, inexpensive meals, including breakfast. Don’t miss the Brazilian desserts. The tiny cafe popular with locals on the corner a few steps from the apartment is also a fun place to get coffee.
