This was my first solo trip and I'm very glad that I chose to stay with Hugo. His apartment is located in the very center of Lisbon, you can't ask for anything better than that! I pretty much walked to most area in Lisbon. My room also comes with a private bathroom so you have your privacy all the time! The shower was awesome because the water pressure was great. My room also got a small balcony where I checked the temperature everyday before I head out :P I love the huge mirror in my room by the way!
Oh, and there is also another balcony by the kitchen, where you get to enjoy great view of Lisbon.
Hugo is a very kind and nice host. He provided me with his very own list of restaurants, breakfast, and bars and clubs recommendation. So you can make sure you are having the right Portuguese experience here! I was busy traveling in different part of Lisbon and other cities around all the time, so I didn't get to talk to him until my last day. Once he learned that I'm going to visit Albufeira, he gave me some ideas of where to visit and even helped me book a nice tour in Algarve!
I would recommend anyone who travels to Lisbon to stay with Hugo (in terms of the location, room condition, quietness, and of course the host himself)
