This was our first time to Lisbon, and we enjoyed the large, bright space that this property provided us. Gile was an excellent communicator and a good host. Being new to Lisbon, I didn’t realize where this property was in relation to the other parts of the city. I walk a lot, and I do not believe it is within a reasonable walking distance to the city centre. The Orique neighborhood is great if you want to experience more authentic, younger, middle class Portuguese culture. Lots of shops, restaurants, and everyday Portuguese life happening. We enjoyed this, but I could see it being an issue for others. But be aware that Google maps says it is a hilly 1.1km away from the nearest metro station (Rato). It didn’t look like you could continently park a car here either (not sure why you’d want a car in Lisbon though). We are seasoned travellers who enjoy extra walking, so we enjoyed our stay.
