Travelled to Lisbon for work rather than pleasure. Silvinia's apartment was in a quiet neighbourhood, but with plenty to see. The Congress centre was just 15 minutes walk away along the river, but this was certainly not an industrial/corporate area, with plenty of restaurants, museums, gardens etc. (which unfortunately I did not have the time to explore). The apartment was a decent size and very comfortable for a couple or sole traveler. And Silvinia's hospitality was great with fresh bread, fruit and cakes on arrival. Can't wait to return to Lisbon and bring the family (and no work).
