This was a last minute trip for me that I booked after I finished exams. And can I just say, I am SO happy that I did!
Diogo was a fantastic host! This was the first time a host ever picked me up from the airport, which was really appreciated upon coming to a city that I have never been to before. He then gave a list of recommendations of places to visit, and then very kindly made me a reservation at a lovely restaurant that I probably would not have been ably to get on my own.
The apartment itself was beautiful. Everything was spotless, there was coffee available for use, and the bed was super comfortable. I also loved the shower - the water pressure was fantastic, which is always a bit of a worry for me when I travel.
As for location, you could not ask for better. The apartment is in Alfama, the gorgeous old part of Lisbon. You are surrounded by beautiful old buildings and delicious restaurants. The area itself is quiet, and I was there during the Saints festival in June, which is louder than usual.
I cannot recommend Diogo or his gorgeous apartment highly enough. I definitely did not spend long enough in Lisbon and plan on coming back again soon. When I do, I will definitely be staying here!
