Edgar’s place is the perfect base from which to explore Lisbon!
The house is situated in Belém, around 25 minutes outside of the city centre, but is easily accessed by bus, tram or train. Additionally, the accommodation space is extremely clean and very easy to locate.
Belém itself is beautiful. It has a number of immaculate parks and squares, many impressive attractions and offers just a short train ride to Lisbon’s closest beach (in Cascais).
As for the host, Edgar was absolutely brilliant. On arrival he took time out of his day to show me around the local area, give restaurant recommendations and talk me through the public transport systems available. He really did go the extra mile to make me feel at home.
In all, I would absolutely recommend staying at Edgar’s place - both he and the house were integral to my Lisbon experience.
Thank you Edgar!
