We had a wonderful time in Lisbon. Miguel's apartment is beautiful and in a wonderful neighborhood. There are wood floors throughout the apartment, high ceilings, and wonderful light. The apartment looks out onto a square and there are great restaurants, bars and stores around the square and the apartment. There is also a useful gracery store a half block away. One treasure about a five minute walk away is the market. During the day it has fresh produce and some meat and fish. At night, part of the market has been converted into a wonderful restaurant area - sort of like a food court, but so much better, cooler and hipper than any food court I have ever seen. Just up the hill from the apartment is a great shopping area. In short, great apartment, great area. Loved it!

Lastly, it is probably useful to mention that while Miguel was away, his mother was able to drop off the keys for us. She was ever so nice and warm.

The whole experience was delightful.
