Amazing host, amazing location, amazing apartment! I would highly recommend staying here! Antonio was the perfect host. He greeted us when we arrived, showed us everything we needed to know, gave us recommendations and had a lovely bottle of wine waiting for us. The place was very clean and well cared for. It is also within walking distance to most of the things we wanted to see. Even though you're right in the middle of the city centre, it was super quite and quaint. I also highly recommend the restaurant right downstairs from the apartment - Oficina do Duque. The chocolate mousse with olive oil and salt is fantastic!!
Outside of the actual AirBnB review, here are a couple of tips about the city that we learned from our experience... 1) don't wait in line for the Tram 28! We made the mistake of waiting at one of the major stops and waited almost 2 hours. Not worth it! Get on at one of the smaller stops and you can get on almost right away. 2) For the Elevador de Santa Justa, you can either wait in a huge line and pay 5 Euro to ride the elevator to the top. OR you can walk up the back way and see the view for free!! The view at the top is really incredible, but the elevator itself is lack luster. We found out we could walk up after paying the 5 EURO lol. Live and learn. 3) Train ride to Sintra is worth it - beautiful little city just 45 minutes from Lisbon. While there we had a fantastic meal at a little restaurant in called "Homemade Grab & Go". The tuna tartar salad is phenomenal! And the servers were super friendly - highly recommend for a delicious refreshing lunch!
