This apartment is a total gem: a chic, spotless place in an ideal central location in the hip Principe Real neighborhood, within walking distance of the bourgeois-bohemian Bairro Alto district as well as the fashionable Chiado shopping district. There is also Rato subway station within easy walking distance. I have been coming to Lisbon for more than a decade and have stayed in some great places, but this place was among my favorites. Pedro was a conscientious and friendly host from the get-go, and was very understanding when my plane arrived late, delaying my check-in for several hours. Above all, the apartment oozes charm, with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a grand yellow building that looks like a palace, and gives the feeling that the living room is floating in space . There is a good size kitchen, a lovely living room and bedroom, and a modernist and idiosyncratic decor that is both sleek and intimate. Added to that there are two air conditioners -- one in the bedroom and another in the living room -- which was a God-Send, given the extreme heat of the 2018 summer. I am a veteran and picky traveler and this was a rare AirBnB where I could imagine myself living, nevermind staying. I wouldn't hesitate to book this place. You won't be disappointed.
