Marco was a wonderful host! He made sure to include recommendations and also very detailed instructions for finding the apartment/check-in. His friendliness and eagerness to share about Lisbon was greatly appreciated!
The unit is well sized for 2 adults. It is equipped with all the appliances you need for cooking or storing food. It was incredibly clean and well decorated. We very much appreciated the booklet created my Marco filled with suggestions and information about the area! It is incredibly close to all public transportation which was a huge benefit. We visited in June so it was fairly warm, but the A/C in combination with keeping the windows tilted open was enough to keep the apartment at a comfortable temperature (the a/c is a stand-alone plug-in unit so be sure to replenish the water and ice). We had no issues with check-in or check-out, and Marco was incredibly helpful with both processes.
This area is not nearly as touristy as others, which we loved. Incredibly multicultural and diverse in all ways. You may not get views of the city from the unit, but you will be able to become very well acquainted to local life in Mouraria!
Please keep in mind that it is not suitable for those with mobility issues due to both the steep narrow staircase to enter the apartment and the hill that the apartment is situated on. You will be going up and down hills quite frequently in this area, which we did not mind at all and the walks are often very pretty.
We very much enjoyed our stay, and we deeply appreciate Marco’s hospitality! :)
