Hi, Maria. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home and for making us feel so welcome. The flat was exactly as described, very colourful and traditionally decorated with lots of character, representative of your warmth, and in an amazingly central position for exploring Lisbon.
We loved Lisbon and hope to return. We enjoyed the Portuguese buffet night at the hostel and also found a good tiny Goan restaurant in the back streets. We liked listening to the classical music coming from the road above where the orchestra were practising and watching people dancing in the nearby square. The tiny glove shop is lovely and we enjoyed coffee and breakfast at Cafe Bernard and Cafe Brasileira. We had a very good day out to Torres Vedras visiting St Vincent's Fort and learning more about the Peninsular War. We walked from the flat around Chiado, to the castle, Alfama and Bairro Alto and also visited Belem Tower and the cathedral, all worth visiting.
Thank you very much, Maria. We hope to return.
