You can expect a very warm welcome at Filipa’s apartment. She is a lovely, friendly host with lots of advice about the local area. She even found out that there was a shop nearby that sold loads of gluten free products after I’d asked how to say “gluten free” in Portuguese!
The apartment itself is compact but just right for the two of us. It was really handy having a washing machine and powder in the kitchen, which was fully equipped. Though a kettle would have been handy, we did get used to boiling water on the hob!
There is no air con but there are 2 fans which we definitely needed. The building does have a lift which was a godsend after a day of walking around Lisbon!
We would really recommend a visit to Lisbon. What a fantastic city! Leave your heels at home tho, as there are some hilly streets and steps in places. We would also recommend staying at Filipa’s as it is really central as well as being lovely! ☺️
