This was our favorite Airbnb rental during our seven week trip through Portugal. Tram 28E is just a few steps outside the door and takes you to Baixa Chiado Metro quickly.
Our host met us promptly and had fresh Nata pastries and Port waiting for us. They were available the entire time to answer questions and make recommendations for restaurants, things to do etc. My children arrived with a tummy bug and she went to buy a special herbal tea and sparkling mineral water for them. You truly feel like you're staying with your favorite auntie. They even came to say goodbye on our last day. We ❤️ Them.
We loved standing on the balcony and watching the tram wiz by or just leaving the two French doors open and watching/listening to the neighborhood sounds. The apartment is one flight of stairs up so you will hear some sounds in the night but for us it added to the charm and we felt like locals.
There are multiple small grocery stores within the same block and a larger grocery store just five minutes walk away. Lots of coffee shops, bakeries, a crêpe restaurant and other Portuguese restaurants in the same block/s.
There are three separate air-conditioners at work independently. All worked extremely well.
One bathroom with nice water pressure and plenty of hot water. Stocked with lots of towels, body wash, shampoo and hand soap. Lots of Airbnb's do not include these items so it is nice to have them supplied.
All beds were comfortable.
Outside laundry line came in handy.
Very well equipped kitchen with everything we needed including a kettle, coffee maker, full-size fridge, oven and cooktop, a wide assortment of teas, olive oil, salt. Again most Airbnb's do not have salt let alone all of these other perks.
We truly enjoyed this flat, the location and our host. I highly recommend this place and will come back when I return to Portugal!
