Antonio's place is located in the Mouraria neighborhood in Lisbon, which is a very culturally diverse district. Lots of street art and tiled houses, making for something interesting to see around every turn. At first glance, I thought the area was a bit run down, but this is part of its richness. The apartment is well-secured and spotless. Antonio was there to greet us upon arrival and he has put a lot of effort into the house manual, which offers lots of tips about where to go. We took his advice the first night and patronised a local restaurant that was nothing fancy, but down-to-earth, friendly, with great food. Our host was also named Antonio and he, like most of the people we met in Portugal was warm and friendly.
Like I said, the house was spotless and nicely decorated - simple & tasteful. It is a cozy space and probably a bit tight for a family of four, but we managed. There is no closet space or a washer, but those are the only "cons" I can think of. It is a great space and I would highly recommend it as it is close to the city, the Castle de Jorge and within walking distance to the train station. I recommend a visit to Sintra if you have the time!
