Ricardo made us feel very welcome and was an excellent host. He was at the house when we arrived and had kindly bought us food, wine and other useful provisions. He explained fully the layout and important features of the property and also answered our questions about the local area and general queries about visiting Lisbon. He was very helpful.
The house itself was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The garden is a delightful asset and although in close proximity to adjacent properties it was a lovely place to sit, eat and relax.
The neighbourhood, Belem was friendly, peaceful but lively enough to have fun in the early evening. Local restaurants were varied and there was a large choice within walking distance of the house. Transport (trams, taxis, buses and trains) into the centre of the city and to beautiful nearby beaches was easy and reliable.
We all really enjoyed our stay in Ricardo's house and hope to visit again sometime. Thank you.
