A really great stay at Elis house. The house is located in Boavista and it is about a 15 or 20 minute walk to the City Center with historical sites. We enjoyed the location because it was in a quiet residential area, but with plenty of restaurants within in a 3 minute walk. A 3 minute walk to the nearest bus stop and 5 minute walk to the nearest metro. Elis did a great job explaining which lines to take to get to and from her house. The location and the city itself is very safe. Breakfast was put out every morning. Her parents, were so welcoming. They don't speak any english, and we speak very little Portuguese, but we had many wonderful conversations. That was the best part of our stay.
