I only stayed for one night at Filipe’s place and it had everything I needed. It was comfortable, clean and close to town. It’s on top of the second biggest hill on Lisbon (if you’re walking and dragging a suitcase along you need to be reasonably fit to get there - I was knackered by the time I reached Filipe’s flat) so you get a great view of the city - I got up early to watch the sunrise from the kitchen window (a tip from Filipe) and it was gorgeous. I only spoke to Filipe briefly but he seemed like a kind, affable host. Simba the cat is the friendliest cat in Lisbon, possibly the world, and I almost packed him in my suitcase to take home with me. I would wholeheartedly recommend staying at Filipe’s place if you’re visiting Lisbon.
