Maria and Carlos were very pleasant and helpful hosts. Their clean and cozy place is good for short stays in a typical Lisbon neighbourhood. There's a good selection of restaurants and mini-markets on their street - try Fabio's for a quick breakfast - and the bus stops right outside. Or walk 15 minutes to either Praca de Espanha Metro station or Entrecampos Train station to Sintra and the Algarve. Maria's English is good and they know a lot about their city and country. You may even meet another houseguest if it's a dual-tenant time.

Noemi is a gem and her place was wonderful. She went above and beyond on every dimension, and was friendly and personable. A dream host. Her apartment (a few Metro stops from the City Centre sites) had everything we needed. We'd stay again. Highly recommended.
