I echo the reviews from others - Manuel was a great host and took the time at our arrival to make sure we felt at home, and gave suggestions for the neighbourhood as well as visiting Portugal in general. His place is as in the pictures - really modern and fun! Nice welcome bottle of wine. Great location - really close to Metro and the train to Sintra, as well as walking distance to Chiado and the old town. The only down sides were the loud bars late into the night (1-2am), although the noise was manageable with the windows closed and earplugs, and the showers were quite small. We spent 4 nights here and it felt like home.
