Just a little misunderstanding with arrival time and check-in. Be sure to say AM or PM, but it wasn't that big of a deal, our fault, host was really responsive and welcome us with a bottle of red wine to apologize.
My partner and I met Manuel (briefly) and his assistant Tiago. They were a big help since the first minute, smiling and nice, we felt like home right away. Tiago was easy to interact with even by night if his help was needed.
The place has everything you need to feel comfortable and is very clean. If you are tired of going out everyday while on your vacation, the kitchen offers everything to cook a meal of high quality.
The street is quiet so we rested without any problem. A little balcony to have a coffee with a great view of Lisbon is a plus. The apartment is amazingly well located, 2 minutes walk from a subway station, 5 minutes from the main buses to bring you to the Tile museum, Oceanarium... 10 minutes from a regional train station to go to Sintra where the Castle of the Moors. And taxis are so cheap, drivers know the street without the need of a GPS.
The neighborhood is great with lots of stores and restaurants, from luxury food to traditional Portuguese bars.
I highly recommend Manuel's place, and I already know where we'll be staying on our next trip to Lisbon...
