The owner was away during our 6-day stay and Alexandre, a friend of the host was there to receive us. Our arrival was a little earlier than expected so after depositing our bags in the flat we went around the corner to a place he recommended for a very pleasant open air lunch with a lovely view of the port. The flat was everything we expected: large, luminous, comfortable, stylish. We did our shopping at the Mercado da Ribeira, a 15 minute walk from the flat and had an excellent meal at one of the Time Out restaurants there. Lisbon is a delightful city where we had all been before on separate trips, we also have friends there who showered us with recommendations and suggestions. The food was excellent everywhere we went, we walked quite a lot in every direction: Belem, Chiado, Alfama, Rossio, Campo do Ourique… and we'd love to return!
