We enjoyed our stay at Ana's beautiful place in Lisbon
Location: the apartment was centrally located and close to the Metro. There were many restaurants and shops nearby and we never needed to go far for necessities. There was a small grocery store around the corner, which was great for last minute store runs.
Decor and accommodations: This apartment was so stylish and made us feel at home. The host was thoughtful in maximizing function in small spaces, such as the patio and bathroom. The two bedrooms were just enough for our two adults and two small children and super comfy. There was only 1 bathroom and a very small shower (enough room for 1 person to stand and rotate), so bathtime for the toddlers required a little bit of acrobatics and the floor ended up with more water than was safe, despite the towel. This wasn't a deal-breaker, but something for parents of small children to consider. There is also no elevator in the building and the apartment is 4 stories up with a very steep staircase, so please keep this in mind if you have lots of luggage/strollers, small children, etc. However, this is to be expected with most buildings in the city center and is not necessarily a con for this apartment.
Amenities: The place was well-stocked with all of the necessities and even more than needed! The kitchen included plates and utensils for children, which was much appreciated. The 1 bathroom had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash, as well as hair dryers. The towel warmer was an amazing addition. The host left some much-appreciated wine in the fridge for check-in.
Communication: Ana and her team were quick to respond to any questions. There was also a great booklet with recommendations and local information.
Overall, we were impressed with our Lisbon accommodations and will definitely stay again on our next trip to Portugal! Thank you, Ana and team!
