Just back from a few (very hot!) days in Lisbon. It was a delight staying at Abel and Odete's apartment, tucked away in the quiet streets of Alfama. It was a great decision staying in this part, away from the hustle and bustle. Walked miles but public transport very easy and cheap. Good to come back to the apartment for a cool shower and siesta, before wandering to a nearby restaurant. We particularly enjoyed Santo Antonio's, food obviously fresh, well sourced and cooked perfectly, washed down with great wine;very friendly.
Shame we didn't meet but were welcomed at the apartment, and Abel contacted by phone to check everything ok. Lovely small apartment, just right for two, clean and beautifully presented, welcome wine etc a great touch. Will miss getting fresh bread in the morning from bakery 2 min walk away!
Still more to see in Lisbon, would definitely come back to this apartment though will have to book further ahead as likely to get very popular!
