The apartment is great - simple ; stylish ; spotlessly in a location easily accessible to metro and all the inner city life but the highlight is probably the host Goncalo himself.
What genuine delightful welcome. Fresh bakery and special liqueur and yogurt and fruit for breakfast as well as some sampling of local portuguese tarts! But even better was the time he took to chat and talk through transport ; sightseeing ; safety in a city ; best eating recommendations and day trips.
This is really good value for money and on the funky edge of the major tourist districts - reasonably quiet at night too as tucked off the major square. Slight building noise in the late mid morning for an hour from a renovation next door but nothing disturbing. Easy access to all transport thanks to a major metro and train station access 150 metres away. Really enjoyed the apartment and its conveniences as well as its charming hosts hospitality.
