Even before we got to Lisbon Frederico made sure we were made welcome.

We were met at the apartment by Frederico's friend who showed us round and left us with some local food treats to set us up after the journey.

The apartment is in a great location in easy reach of the metro and local restaurants but not at all noisy at night.

It's the perfect size for a couple or small family. It's also importantly nice and clean. The only downside I can think off was the stairs but we didn't find them a problem.

We had a great time despite a bit of rain and the next trip to Lisbon this will be the first place we'll look to stay.
