We had a great time in Lisbon thanks to our stay at Goncalo's place that was close to the center of everything there is to see in Lisbon. We consider ourselves travelers and not tourists, and want to experience the local culture when we visit a new city. Goncalo's place is in the Alfama district which has so much history of Lisbon. We were 10 min walk to city center or the historic Castles, churches and metro station. There are charming local restaurants and shops in the area. About Goncalo's place: it is a cozy apartment on the 3rd floor in Alfama less than a 5 min walk through some winding cobblestone streets from the Fado Museum. Goncalo and his girlfriend picked us up from the airport and personally brought us to the apartment-which was so nice to save us a taxi/uber ride and any trouble in locating his place. Along the way they gave us tips and recommendations on what to see and where to go in the area. The apartment has all you need for your stay, wifi, a kitchen with stove, microwave, toaster, nespresso machine (bring pods!). The bonus for us was a washing machine that allowed us to wash clothes and hang on the clothesline on the balcony just like the locals! The living room area is sloped so may be a challenge for tall people but the dining area and bedroom were more than enough room....since we mainly used the apartment to sleep and shower.....too much to see in Lisbon! Overall it was a great experience! Definitely recommend!
