Ricardo's flat is as described. Marguerite received us with ope arms and was VERY helpful in giving us directions to the many touristic places. Unfortunately, too many times people presume that in North America we have the same appliances and shower systems. We do not. Remember to ask her. Unfortunately she reacted as if I was not very smart.
The flat itself is spacious by European standards and well equipped. Bring earplugs and eye masks. It is very noisy and the outside blinds do not work well.
The building has an elevator BUT you have to climb some stairs to get to it so if you cannot climb 4-5 steps, this is not the place for you.
It is not quite centrally located. You must walk 5-10 minutes (depending on your pace) to get to the tram or bus and you will have to transfer.
The only entertainment nearby is the LX Factory.
There is also 10-15 mins walk away the Tagus river with a lovely walkway and nearby marina but not easy to find.
Keep in mind that the street the building is on is quite deserted at night.
Ricardo was accessible be email and very kind, he even let us leave our luggage after checkout as we had a later flight!
If you want to be nearer to the convention centre or Belém, this is perfect. If not, another more central location is recommended.
