This was my family’s first trip to Lisbon. We were pleasantly surprised that Jorge‘s place (15-20-min ride from airport) put us in such a great location for exploring the city on foot. We did not rent a car while here and did not need one (just be prepared to climb a lot of hills and steep staircases!). One day, we took the train to Sintra. The station is just a 7-minute walk downhill. We also caught an IC train to Aveiro from the Santa Apolonia station (@15 min by taxi) the day we left Lisbon. The apartment was very clean and bright. It’s loud at night when the nearby restaurants start to close, so we made use of the earplugs and white noise machines. Don’t let that deter you from staying here unless you’re someone who needs absolute quiet. For us (my husband, 2 kids - 16 and 19), the location was ideal. Jorge was a very responsive and helpful host, both before and during our stay, and gave us lots of good advice and recommendations.
