We loved our stay in Flavia's apartment! It was our favorite airbnb of the trip and one of the best I've stayed at in Europe. The neighborhood is perfect - close to the river, away from the tourist areas but a nice walk or convenient bus ride to the east side of Lisbon or anywhere you want to go (the buses are just a few steps from the apartment). Alcantara is an authentic Portuguese neighborhood that gives you a unique view into daily life in Lisbon. We enjoyed the traditional restaurants right down the street. The apartment is nice and quiet with a charming view of neighborhood life from the balcony. The apartment is a beautiful renovated 1920s building with unique artwork and personal touches (some of it is Flavia's art). The hot water is a little tricky, but if you turn on the sink and heat the water there first, the shower will soon follow! If you like outdoor spaces, spend some time wandering around the agronomy institute (part of University of Lisbon) just 5 minutes down the street.
