Patrick and Bernadette are great hosts! They were very available and accommodating, with a wealth of local knowledge. Communication was quick and clear!
It’s a clean, bright, airy apartment in a lovely neighbourhood. There’s a well-equipped kitchen and two well-appointed, modern bathrooms with hotel-style toiletries provided. The beds are comfortable and the WiFi is decent.
The neighbourhood is reasonably central but far enough from the more commercial areas to be quieter and less touristic. It’s right on the 28E tram line and there are other transport options (bus, taxi and tram tours) available at the nearby square, Praça da Estrela. You can buy tickets and day passes for the tram and bus at the tobacconist nearby.
The nearby park is gorgeous, a great place to start your day with coffee and a pastry at one of the two small cafes. Restaurants in the area aren’t fancy but the food is good and very good value. Try O Lavrador for excellent grilled chicken and Doce Estrela for delicious pastries and snacks.
All in all, a great experience!
