We were initially greeted by Carla, who was so welcoming and hospitable we knew immediately that we were going to have a great week.
The apartment was excellent; comfortable and beautifully designed, as well as being sparklingly clean on arrival. Honestly, the place was spotless and felt brand new.
It is only a 15 minute walk to the centre and the neighborhood is truly local, and home to the best pasteleria we came across (3 minute walk). In addition, Rua de Esperanca is a nearby street that boasts a few brilliant restaurants, including Restaurante Madragoa which is a blink-and-you'll-miss-it gem.
Great flat, great hosts and a great neighborhood made for a very special week in Lisbon. Thanks Nuno and Carla!
