We stayed in Fran's apartment for three nights. The location is ideal. Many of the most attractive areas of the city, such as Alfama, are in easy walking distance. The street is also lined with multiple small cafés and restaurants, which make grabbing morning coffee and pastries easy and enjoyable.
Fran was an incredible host! He is quite welcoming, and passionate about sharing his city with guests. Not only did he give us suggestions about what to do and see in the city (and in Sintra, our next stop), he left us with plenty of brochures, maps, and a typed information sheet listing essential information and his personal recommendations. He was also very understanding when it took us longer than expected to get from the airport to his apartment.
Obrigadas, Fran!
