We requested an early check in and Luis had his friend meet us to accommodate our request. Nelson provided a thorough explanation of the condo and few highlights of the area. In addition, there were two Portuguese pastries to welcome us........a very nice touch!
Luis's condo has everything you need and is just what you observe in the photos. It is smartly designed and the views are amazing......better than the pics. And free parking in Portugal is rare! (The parking garage is insanely skinny and will provide the best of drivers all they can handle)
Though we enjoyed our visit we would not chose to return to this location. This was our mistake for not doing enough research on Lisbon neighborhoods. We enjoy walking around new cities all day, exploring the highlights and then returning to shower and go out for the night. We like public transportation or Uber if it is convenient and cost efficient but prefer being able to walk everywhere. This location was simply not compatible with how we like to enjoy unknown cities. Again, this was no fault of Luis, it was ours for not doing our work ahead of time.
By all means try dining at Via Graca and the market near the river.
