I only stayed at Ana’s apartment for one night as I had an early flight the following morning. Ana’s place is very close to the airport and only cost me about $4 with an Uber. You’ll have everything you need and Ana is very kind and responsive. She even picked me up from the bus station when I arrived from Portimao!
I just had a few hours in Lisbon in the afternoon so I ended up taking an Uber to Sintra to see Pena Palace which is lovely. There are also trains available but they will take you longer.
I didn’t get to explore the area because I was so limited with time but apparently there are plenty of restaurants nearby. I ended up just having dinner at an Asian restaurant which was about a 6-7 minute walk. I highly recommend Ana’s place, especially if you have a flight to catch and want to stay nearby! Thank you again, Ana!
