Ricardo’s place is amazing if you expect a stylish, unique place where you can feel the vibes of Lisbon and the decor taste of your host. Elsa personally met me to pass the keys and showed me where the amenities (extra towels, heaters, fans, etc) were as well as waiting for us since our taxi driver got lost.
The tips that Ricardo sent over were accurate local places which of course we would not have known about unless we spent a lot of time on research. We probably have to stay another week or two if we were to go to every restaurant and bar he suggested! :)
Communication was super efficient. The flat, though on second floor, is easy to walk up and brightly lit so you feel safe. Restaurants and bars are very close by so if you feel lazy after a long day, you can satisfy your hanger pains just five minutes away.
It’s also an easy walk to the busy/cosmopolitan parts of Lisbon from our place so you can save on transportation costs.
I would definitely recommend this place to friends who are visiting in the future!
