Lius and Rita have a fabulous setting! Luis met us near his place and led us to his Airbnb. It was perfect in so many ways! It is actually larger than it appears online. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the ground floor ( one of these bedrooms and bath is off of the ample kitchen) and there are two bedrooms ( one is the bunk room)and a bathroom downstairs. His gracious hospitality included having a couple of bottles of local wine, cheese, almond cake, all waiting for us, which was a lovely welcome to Lisbon. The location is perfect with most sites, amenities -Time Out, bus, metro, train and ferry lines, trolley #28, Ascensor da Bica, and the Manteigaria fabrica de pasties de nata- all within easy walking distance. The home is clean, tastefully decorated, comfortable and with sufficient supplies for all. It was so nice for eight people to be able to enjoy a glass of wine, then later, another glass of wine, using different glasses, without having to wash out the first glasses. The kitchen was equipped with everything from an immersion blender to dishes for a large family, to utensils for every occasion, as well as condiments. Luis and Rita know how to host!
The inner courtyard was such a plus, as well. The oranges that fell from the orange tree provided us with orange juice ( from the equipment Luis had available) and it was a lovely spot for children to play, draw, or chase pigeons and for adults to hang out.
We would love for Luis and Rita to adopt us so that we could frequent this lovely place more often. It was great!
