Peter's flat was, for us, a five-star experience at the heart of Lisbon, with at the same time a very personal touch. The flat is absolutely beautiful, decorated with excellent taste, and equipped with all amenities necessary for the modern traveler, including WiFi, air conditioning, a nice (bluetooth) sound system, flat-screen TVs, a capsule coffee machine. The flat has two levels: the lower level is the living room (including a sofa bed) and kitchen. The upper level, accessible by internal stairs, is the bedroom. Both levels have bathrooms with shower, so the setup is excellent for both couples as well as small families. The central area of Lisbon is comfortably within strolling distance; still, there is a subway station very close to the apartment connecting you to pretty much everywhere. Even then, if you are lost with respect to where to go, worry not -- Rita & Miguel have put together a personalized set of recommendations including local restaurants, local car rental, city sights, and even the corner bakery where to get freshly baked bread for your breakfast every morning!

Our stay at Peter's flat was our first AirBnB experience. We loved it, and are officially hooked. If more people out there offer even close to the same quality as Rita & Miguel at Peter's flat, then AirBnB will be to the hotel business what Wikipedia was to the encyclopedia business.

Our stay was also very special in another way. When we arrived to Peter's flat, we were boyfriend and girlfriend -- excited about having a fun vacation in Portugal. When we left, we were engaged, and had memories of dream-like quality. It happened in the apartment: I proposed, and she said yes. We were deeply touched when Rita & Miguel gave us a very special token from the apartment, related to the proposal. We are definitely coming back here someday, and will enthusiastically recommend Peter's Flat to our friends visiting Lisbon!
