I stayed at Carlos’ apartment for 10 days and I had a wonderful time in Lisbon. Carlos is a host who is very helpful but the way the room is set up it also feels quite private. I was happy with having a bite to eat in the morning before going out for the day. Great view from the bedroom and kitchen windows! And the neighbour has singing birds in the tree below. Loved waking up to birdsong ;). The apartment is on the 3rd floor with a narrow stairway. I found the key a bit tricky to use on the main door. Also the streets lead down to the main area easily once you get oriented to the directions. I love to walk so I had no problem but be aware that there is uphill climbing involved coming back! Carlos was a perfect host (who is also a great cook!). I met his family and was treated to wonderful Portuguese hospitality. I couldn’t have had a better time for my initial visit to Lisbon. I will be back again.
