Our stay was really great. When we arrived in Lisbon, the host met us at the apartment, showed us everything about the place, gave us recommendations etc and 2 bottles of nice white wine from Portugal. The place was extremely clean, and very well put together. They offered to have the place cleaned mid way through our stay and the hosts communication was very prompt and clear. We stayed here with (3) people and it worked just fine, they even set up a little second cot / bed for us which was awesome. Would definitely stay here again.
Location: The location was perfect, very central. There is a little market at the top of the street and a good breakfast spot (go natural). The balcony/ terrace has a great view!
Parking: If you have a rental car there is a parking deck right around the corner that we parked at every day. It was approx 13 euro per day. BEWARE: Friday or Saturday I would not take your car anywhere, take An Uber if possible. Reason is it is extremely busy and there is absolutely no parking. We got back into Lisbon around 11pm Saturday having no clue this would have been a problem. It took us (2) hours to find parking we literally waited in a line of cars outside of the parking garage, waiting for cars to leave. It was crazy. This was the only issue we had while in Lisbon.
Lisbon is a really awesome city! I would love to come back. There are a ton of restaurants, bars, shops etc.
If you do have a rental car I would highly recommend Quinta da Regaleira in Sintra. Sintra was a beautiful city. Cabo da roca was amazing! Unlike anything I have seen. Lastly we went to Praia do Cavalo and Praia da adraga (beach). These are amazing. We were going to go to Lagos but decided to go to cavalo and adraga instead which we absolutely loved.
We did drive to Porto and back in one back and that was pretty brutal (6hrs total drive time). Did a port tasting at Churchill’s and explored the city a bit. Didn’t love Porto.
We did a surfing lesson with Nuno Surf Lisbon (Airbnb experience) it was a lot of fun! Great experience. After that we beached it at Praia De Carcavelos. Ate lunch at the windsurf cafe which was awesome as well. Def recommended.
We rented the car from Amoita and had a good experience - would use them again.
