Firstly, we love Lisbon and the warmth of the people. Secondly, Luisa did a remarkable job upgrading the apartment and we found the space light and airy. We, however, did not think the neighborhood great and this could have been based partially on the biases of the taxi and Uber drivers comments upon arrival and during our week stay. And finally, I think Portugal has some issues (as France used to) regarding people picking up after their pooches. It’s quite annoying to have to keep watching where you walk instead of admiring the amazing views and architecture the city has to offer.
