If we could pick up our life and plunk it down in Lisbon, this apartment would be the perfect place to land.
Cozy, comfortable, modern and very clean, with everything you could need for a fantastic stay. The bed was comfortable, the water was hot, there is an espresso maker and super helpful guidebook.
This place is literally perfect.
Two things are particularly special: the view from the balcony, and the location.
When we first walked in and were greeted by Joana, the view from the balcony literally took our breath away - perfect for enjoying a late-evening glass of wine before heading out to dinner or having your morning espresso and pastry. You can see all the way to the water.
The location could not be better. You are situated in a very safe, easily accessible neighborhood, just steps from the Metro station and countless buses or trams. There's a grocery store right up the street and we ate several meals within a block or two of the apartment at wonderful restaurants. At the time of this review, the pharmacy around the corner can perform your COVID-19 test for traveling, if necessary.
Finally, I just want to say that Sergio and Joana are perfect hosts. Joana, who met us when we arrived, made us feel so welcome and relaxed. They were both responsive, helpful and warm. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. The guidebook provided was accurate, detailed, and had tons of fun off-the-beaten path ideas for places to eat, see and go. Clearly, an incredible amount of work was put into it.
A complete value and well-priced, this place sets the bar for Airbnb stays. We had the perfect, authentic Lisbon experience and we could not have loved it more.
Muito obrigado!
