Cristina and Ricardo, a beautiful couple. They know absolutely everything about Lisbon, the best places to eat out, to have a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. They know every corner of Lisbon, the beaches, the best surfs, museums or shopping areas. They answer immediately all your questions via sms or whatsapp and offer their help any time of the day. Ricardo's warm welcome, the cosy and beautifully decorated flat made me feel immediately at home, almost as a family member. It's clean, new and charmy. The flat is very well located, one can easily walk everywhere. And this is what I would recommend as there are so many treasures to discover at every corner around the house: antique shops, great restos, cafes, retro furniture shops. Museums and the botanical garden are just a block away. I particularly enjoyed my breakfasts under the old trees of the lively praca das flores. Children are playing at the play ground, their partents watching them from the cafe, tourists stop by for a hot chocolate and dogs enjoy the fountain during their owners enjoy the terrace. If you decide to take the bus or the tube, they are close as well.
In spite of its central location, the flat is very quiet and fresh.
