We had a great time in Lisbon. The apartment is just like the photos, situated in a little square. We didn't do any cooking, but there are enough pots and pans in the small kitchen to cook your own meals. The double bed has a nice firm mattress and the neighbourhood is quiet at night. There is some renovation work going on in the area. This didn't bother us at all, just a bit of hammering every now and then. (Unlike Dutch builders their Portugese colleagues do not listen to loud music all the time.)
Jorge is a marvellous landlord. He is around whenever you need him and happy to help. Jorge showed us around on our first afternoon, taught us our first words in Portugese, suggested nice things to do and explained how the public transport works. Obrigada Jorge!
We had the privilege to hear Jorge play guitar one evening, it was really special; we had a great night.
If you like a really good meal: Notas de degustaçāo, Rua do Regedor 7, is worth a visit. Great cook with a real passion for food. I'd come back to Lisbon just for the "chimney pudding". Although the name is a bit of a mystery, the taste is wonderful.
One bit of advice: when Jorge explains how the lock on the front door works, PAY ATTENTION - unlike we did - otherwise you lock yourselves out. But not to worry, Jorge came to our rescue within minutes and sorted everything out.
We were sorry to leave the Casa Menino Deus and would love to come back one day!
