Staying at Carlos’ was an enjoyable experience and was a great place to retreat back to after long walks around Lisbon.
We arrived a little earlier than we expected, so we messaged Carlos and he said that there would be no problem with us dropping our bags off at his place as soon as we arrived, saving us a lot of hassle dragging our bags around until our allotted arrival time.
Carlos’ house is also amazingly positioned, practically in the centre of the city, making it really easy to get back to from all areas of Lisbon. Because of the house’s position up in the hills, there were some absolutely brilliant views over the city, topped off by the sunrise and sunset which you can see taking place over Lisbon cathedral from your bedroom window!
We were provided with a self-serve breakfast that consisted of various breads / croissants, cheeses, meats and different teas and coffees. This really helped kickstart our days and allowed us to get the most out of our mornings.
Carlos himself, was a great, relaxed host who was always ready to share his local knowledge with us and was genuinely friendly and prepared to help us out where he could.
If your going to Lisbon, stay at Carlos’!
