This was our first time using Airbnb and it was a nice experience. We might be a bit spoiled as we usually stay at 4+ * hotels but wanted to try it out - enjoy more space and privacy.
Pedro was a great host. Very efficient in communication, always replied within minutes (prior to our arrival) and explained everything when we got to Lisbon.
The apartment is in a perfect location in Baixa - a short walk from all the major sights and with good public transport connections to the whole city. And a great Indian restaurant in the opposite building!
As for the apartment - generally it was fine. We were only 3 people so had tons of space although the apartment looks a bit bigger in the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped although we didn´t locate the Nespresso machine or the toaster but we managed:)
Our biggest concern was the cold. We came in February and there were only two (not very powerful) heaters in the apartment. We used them both in one bedroom therefore the rest of the apartment was not so comfortable in terms of temperature. We were looking forward to enjoying the living room/dining room in the evenings but ended up going to bed early as it was just too cold in the other rooms. I am sure this would not be an issue in spring-summer time.
As the apartment is in a very old building the condition is not perfect. None of the doors shut properly and one of the rooms does not have any. Again - not a big problem for us but if 6 people were staying and wanted more privacy, it could be a bit of an issue.
I must say that our son loved sleeping in the loft though.
All in all, it was a good first experience and one that we will definitely repeat. We would recommend this apartment but probably only during warmer months (unless you don´t mind the cold!)
