The flat is located near the center of Lisbon so getting around is relatively easy. There are great restaurants and shops nearby and the people are very friendly. Bernardo, Joaquim’s son, was waiting for us at the flat and showed us around the flat as well as pointed out things to do and see in Lisbon. His suggestion for a local restaurant, Casa de India, was great and we liked it so much we ate there twice during our stay. It is located in a hilly part of the city, kind of like San Francisco, so bring good walking shoes. The walking helped burn off all the goodies they left for us as a welcome gift. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again!
