Filipe was quick to respond to all messages and provided great tips for our stay. Didn’t meet him but all our interactions were very friendly and he spoke excellent English which helped as we were just learning some Portuguese on our first trip. Ines, who met us at the apartment and showed us around was a lovely lady and we muddled through with our basic Portuguese well enough to understand everything we needed to know about what was what in the apartment.
Lovely clean, spacious apartment, comfy bed, great views.
Area was really nice, pleasantly quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the city below but close enough that we walked to everywhere in the old town. A shop conveniently close and a very short walk from the highest viewpoint in the city.
The apartment is up a hill and sometimes after a day of walking up and down hills it was a tough final climb but there are plenty of transport options which Filipe provides information on if you can’t face it (we opted to walk) and the views and beautiful streets to get up/down made it worth it. Wouldn’t have changed a thing about it and Lisbon itself was a beautiful, friendly, fascinating city which we will be back to and wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Filipe’s apartment again.
