Matt and Tif are wonderful hosts. We stayed for 4 nights at their place. They provided us with a handbook for the place and local guide before our arrival. Their local guide has many great tips for dining, grocery shopping, sightseeing and day trips. Matt and Tif's place is conveniently located in Alfama, one of the oldest districts of Lisbon, with maze of narrow cobbled streets and steep hills. There are many great cafes and restaurants within 10-15 minutes walking distance. The place is clean, quiet, and tastefully decorated. We did not cook but Tif has stocked the kitchen with almost everything you can think of for daily cooking. She is very thoughtful and and quick to response.
We came to Lisbon right before Sardine Festival, which we knew nothing about. Tif told us about the holiday. We were able to get a preview of the festivities the night before by taking the route Tif suggested.
The only less than perfect thing is WiFi was spotty and slow during our stay. Tif thought it was due to the holiday season.
