Hugo is an exceptional host! He picked us up from the train station and showed us to a beautiful view of the city where he described the different areas of Lisbon. He also pointed out where to get a ticket for the tram, and where the closest tram stop is, which was very helpful! The flat is absolutely stunning. Waking up to this beautiful view of the river and the city was one of my favorite things about the whole trip. The flat is furnished with everything you need and is VERY clean. There are great decorative details throughout, as well as some helpful tourist info and books to read. We were so grateful to find complimentary coffee and a fantastic bottle of wine provided by Hugo to welcome us! It was always easy to reach Hugo, and he would respond right away, very generously. In the time we met him I got a lovely sense of Portuguese hospitality which I noticed throughout our stay from the shop owners, to guides, to the many soccer fans we cheered with in the street! We could barely believe how lucky we were to be in Lisbon for the EuroCup final and experience all of the excitement in the city. It was always wonderful walking back to this apartment at night because the street is so quiet and tucked away. It is the perfect combination of being very close to all the action and wonderful cafes, bars and views in Alfama, but also a quiet peaceful home to return to. We are so grateful to have stayed in this gorgeous place in this very, very special city.
