Ricardo’s place was great. A simple setup with three comfortable rooms and some great views. It is on the third and forth floors of a walk up apartment, but quite manageable. The apartment is located in a popular neighbourhood where lots of people live, minutes from restaurants and services, so you won’t get forest-like quiet. That said, I’m not a heavy sleeper and I had great sleeps while there.
The real highlight of my stay was experiencing Kinji’s hospitality. He is Ricardo’s partner in managing the apartments. He met me when I checked in give me a thorough tour of the apartment and offered me all sorts of advice and suggestions for enjoying my stay in Lisbon. I had a number of small needs that had to be attended to, as this was the beginning of my trip, and Kinji didn’t hesitate to help me find solutions. His hospitality is unrivalled. Thanks Kinji!
When I return to Lisbon I won’t hesitate to stay with Ricardo and Kinji again.
