Fran was very helpful before we arrived in Lisboa and waited for us at the apartment. He told us where to eat, what sights to look at. A wonderful host!

His apartment is very nice, the separate bathroom a luxury. the room looks onto a really quiet row of backyards, the only things you will hear are dogs, two cats, a rooster, chicken and a peacock. Awesome sounds in an urban surrounding!

The neighbourhood is safe and really close to a couple of things: the tram 28 (which you should ride for fun and probably less as a means of public transportation), the Principe Real park, some lookouts over the city (which are al very beautiful).

If you want to get further into the city center/Chiado, you take the tram or you walk uphill, walking takes about 15 mins. Great host, perfect location, absolutely recommended! Would come back any time.
