Don’t pass up the opportunity to stay at Manuel’s apartment! He is a fantastic host that cares about his guests and had many great suggestions for things to do around the city. He keeps a nice selection of maps and pamphlets for touring the city.
You’ll have everything you could possibly need in his apartment- hairdryer, clothes iron, washing machine, cooking supplies, coffee, umbrellas, and a heater for cool nights. The apartment itself was comfortable, efficient, and impeccably clean. You truly get to feel what’s its like to live like a local. Special touches include Manuel’s own handmade furnishings and photography.
The apartment is well located in a hip area near Bica street- close to nightlife and dining in Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodre, and also shopping in Baixa and Chiado. We walked everywhere, but very easy to take the tram or train to all the other local sites. Lively area, but quiet enough for a good night’s rest. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did!
