You’re never really sure. You spend a week or so, mulling over a few options, narrowing it down, eventually you find a place you think is right for you, but you’re never really sure, not until you get there. And no matter how many times you tell yourself it doesn’t really matter where you stay, I mean you’re out more than you’re in, right? You know it does.
As a base-of-operations, Didier & Margarida’s Duplex provided us with everything we needed and more. Comfortable and quiet, most areas of interest were within easy walking distance, but if like us, you like to stretch your legs, it’s a great place to relax after a day of exploration, before heading out again in the evening. Alternatively, pick up some food from the various markets and make yourselves some dinner, whilst watching the skyline light up as the sun goes down.
Sylvia, who looks after the Duplex and it’s guests, on Didier & Margarida’s behalf, is a real asset. Knowing there was someone local who could help and advise you was the cherry on the cake.
A pleasant and stress free experience on every level and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Duplex to anyone thinking of visiting Lisbon.
