We arrived mid afternoon Feb 26th and was greeted by Manuel (Jorge's cousin) who was covering for Jorge. It was a busy day for him as lots of people were moving in that day. He made us feel welcome and took us to our flat which is even better in real life than photos.
Manuel was friendly and explained everything to us and brought us a load of goodies which to be honest was a very nice gesture of both him and Jorge included wine, cheese, bread, fruit and eggs and some local ham, milk and chorizo. It was lovely as we had a long day between time getting up in morning until we arrived in Lisbon, we were grateful.
Jorge was our main contact for the flat by email as sadly we couldn't see him face to face during our trip but between him and Manuel we were given advice on area, maps, things to go and see and rexommended restaurants. We hadn't plan much prior to arriving in Lisbon so between what they said and our research on first day we had. Great 7 night stay at the flat.
Generally speaking the flat is much nicer than a hotel room hence why we went for it. It was modern and lovely and was filled with things to make guests stay nice and easy and it did just that. Some nights when we didn't go out we went to the local shops for food and cooked our own meals which was lovely.
The flat is very central in Lisbon and my husband and I walked pretty much everywhere. We got a taxi from airport which overcharged us by a lot sadly but I highly recommend the Aerobus which stops mins from the flat and you can take that back to the airport then at €3.50 a person. We didn't feel the need to use the train much except for Cascais and Pena as everything was very close by.
Shower is lovely and flat is generally is spacious and comfortable.
Obrigada for a fantastic time.
