Ricardo and Carla’s apartment was a perfect choice for my ten-day stay in Lisbon. It had everything I could have needed in the well stocked kitchen, comfortable bedroom and living area, with lots of little unexpected extras too - the washing machine was a real asset over a long stay.
The area is right in the heart of the action, meaning that it’s within good striking distance of many things you’ll want to see - I hardly used the metro because it was so enjoyable just to walk, although sometimes less so uphill on the way home - Lisbon is a hilly place!
You’ll also want to stay here too for the incredible party vibe that runs into the night right outside. Just make sure you’re up for it, as it could be a bind for anyone anxious about street noise. My advice is to embrace the nightlife and adjust to the Lisbon body clock!
Ricardo and Carla were outstanding hosts, understanding of the quirks of travel times and generous with some nice extra touches. They also supplied loads of great suggestions for things to see and do and places to eat and drink, which came in very handy. Big thumbs up!
