Choosing to stay with Pasquale and Ines was probably the smartest decision I have ever made! To start with, Pasquale and Ines are incredibly lovely and giving hosts. They are extremely kind and approachable and did everything in their power so that I could have a comfortable stay. They would often share their delicious meals with me, offer me a glass of wine and at one point, Pasquale even gifted me a jar of honey from his very own private bee hive! They are both extremely sweet and considerate, giving me everything I needed during my stay (and more) and always being incredibly kind and respectful. Even though we hung out a couple of times and had chats here and there, Pasquale and Ines still respected my privacy and were mindful of space, never intruding when I needed to buckle down and study my Portuguese. The house is absolutely stunning, a perfect mixture between old and new. The flat still retains some original features and yet, it has been updated just the right amount to give it a modern twist. Decorations from around the globe dot the house giving it an international and mindful air. The house is always neatly organized and impeccable. Everything has its own place, and space is very smartly utilized. There is always tonnes of light coming in and every space of the house feels extremely welcoming. The room itself is small yet cosy. But don´t be fooled, there is actually an abundance of space! Every inch of the room is carefully planned and though out so that there is plenty of room for everything. The wardrobe and chest of drawers fit my abundance of clothes (and let me tell you, I brought A LOT of stuff with me), while my book and knickknacks fit perfectly on the enormous desk. The bed is extremely comfortable, which was a big problem because getting up in the morning became a struggle! The room has a nice big window which lets the perfect amount of light in and when open, it helps the air flow around the room nicely. Everything around the house works perfectly, there is nothing that broke or malfunctioned as Pasquale and Ines are always mindful of maintaining and upkeeping their lovely home. The flat is on the 3rd floor and, much like the rest of Lisbon, the neighborhood is located in a hilly area. But don’t worry, in a week I could trek up and down streets and stairs like a pro and it’s a great form of exercise! The flat is around a 25 min walk to the city centre and has many sources of transportation near by, such as metro, bus and the historic 28 tram. The area is very safe, quiet and calm and as a lone female traveler, I never felt uneasy walking through the streets. There is also plenty of stuff available in and around the flat too. Things such as cute bakeries, pretty shops and the park, Jardim da...
