Margarida & Manuel are pretty much the perfect airbnb hosts. They provided us with a lot of helpful information about Lisbon before we arrived and then found time in their schedule to pick us up from the railway station and take us back to the apartment.

The apartment itself is excellent - we wish we had the same skill in interior design. The bed is comfortable, the linen is high quality, the bathroom was clean, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, the sofa was comfy and the view from the window reminded us of why we came to Lisbon.

Mouraria might not have the same reputation as Alfama, but it just means there are fewer people (like us. i.e. tourists) clogging the streets. There is a supermarket a short walk away, as well as plenty of cafés and restaurants nearby. It is close to the tram and metro stops, as well as an elevator which takes you directly into downtown.
