Avelino was the perfect host! Warm, welcoming and friendly. Not only did he meet us at our taxi, he also helped my mother in law haul her luggage up to the apartment. When we checked out, we met us at 5:30AM to help us get a taxi.
The view of the river was a plus while enjoying some time lounging in the well appointed apartment. The apartment was walking distance to many of Lisbon's historic neighborhoods and was surrounded by great places to eat. Restaurants offering a variety of foods from Creole to traditional Portuguese dishes were near by; we particularly liked the Creole place.
Avelino was quick to respond to our questions and it was particularly nice to have a short "to do " list upon check out!
If we find ourselves in Lisbon again, we would certainly contact Avelino about a place to stay!
