Ana & Rita’s apartment was lovely, we found it to be perfect for exploring Lisbon. It is not huge but more then adequate in size, is modernly decorated, very clean, very comfy and we had no problems with noise.
Ana & Rita, were great at communicating and always got back to me quickly.
We found Alfama a great place to stay, would definitely recommend couples to stay in this area, it’s a scenic 10 min walk to the centre of town from the apartment.
We found that Manteigaria did the best custards tarts out of the many we tasted. Ones in Belém are very overrated. Very decent burger place a couple doors down from the Belém custard tart place though.
Recommendations of things to do: explore alfama, visit the castle, visit some of the cities many viewpoints,
ride the elevador’s (if you get a day travel card they are free) take a trip to Belém to see the tower of Belem and the monastery, get some food at the time out market, ride the trams, wander through bairo alto and grab a drink at “park” the roof top bar. I would avoid Rossio and the area behind it at night time, as it is a little shadey.
Ana & Rita where great hosts and they send a very helpful email with recommendations and advice.
