What a great first experience in Lisbon! This part of our trip was the last of our Europe trip and we were tired, but the apartment is in such a lively and vibrant area we got our second wind. The apartment is so clean, new, and comfortable it felt like staying in a hotel only better because we were greeted with wine, natas, fruit and chocolates. We opted for the airport pickup and Helder not only picked us up, but gave us all kinds of tips on places to go, directions etc...They also gave us a list of restaurants to try and we managed to get to 4 of them, all excellent. Having such a centrally located apartment made walking and touring the city all that more easier since we were able to tour, then rest and head out again for the evening. Another nice touch was the Nespresso machine which allowed us to start the day with a nice coffee while enjoying the street scenery before heading out for the day. During the evening the street action below is bustling which we liked a lot. Being from New York, hearing the sound of street was actually soothing to us. Ending our Europe trip in Lisbon at Rita and Helder's was the perfect way to end our trip on a high note. We can't wait to return!
