Lisbon Metro Apartment

We came by train to Oriente, Lisbon where our host, Ricardo, picked us up by car and drove us to the flat. He was very kind and helpful, and there was even ice cream for us in the freezer! :D The flat was very nice and clean with everything we needed. Ricardo was also helpful sending links to places to go, number to taxi, etc. We would definitely recommend this to our friends, and also stay there ourselves another time!

If we should dig deep after something constructive to make it even better, it would be to be more informative in advance about the place. Ie. that it is not a hotel by traditional definition, but rather a privately owned flat that is rented out. That means that there is no room service, reception desk, gym, or whatever you would expect at a ‘real’ hotel. Don’t misunderstand this - it was an absolute pleasure to stay there, and we would definitely go there again if we come to Lisbon. Maybe it’s just on a personal level that we prefer 100% transparency in the deals that we walk into in advance. To be fair, it might in fact have been informed during the booking process (that it isn’t a ‘traditional’ hotel) - in that case, we just failed to intercept it. If not, we would recommend to add it in the description. :)
