A truly dreamy floor-through apartment, suffused with sunlight, overflowing with character, and elegantly appointed with gorgeous white furniture and the host’s besiegingly beautiful paintings depicting quotidian scenes of life in Lisbon. Located in the heart of the heart of one of the oldest parts of the city, the sense of history here was palpable and pervasive, especially when the ringing of church-bells prompted me to open all three sets of Juliet balcony doors in the living room and gaze down upon the curiously captivating cascade of roofs and cobblestones. (Coincidentally, this deeply immersive sense of history offered a sublimely refreshing perspective that starkly contrasted with the tabula rasa and largely ahistorical vision of the metaverse touted at the crypto conference I just so happened to be attending at a local tech hub down the road.) The neighboring cafés and restaurants were excellent and surprisingly inexpensive. The host family is extremely responsive, caring, and knowledgeable about all things Lisbon! Highly recommended!!!
