This was a great home base for our 4 days visit to Lisbon! The location couldn’t be better, with tons of restaurants and bars nearby and easy walking access to most of the best sites in the city. The Airbnb was clean and the pictures were very accurate. The apartment came with espresso maker and hot water heater. The host was immediately responsive, especially when we messaged about a burnt out light.
The draw backs of the apartment are 1) that it doesn’t necessarily feel very homey. It feels more like a hotel than a house, with the miniature ironing board, a lack of cook ware, and only one towel. This was fine for us, but just a warning.
The other drawbacks were a bit more serious: 2) the apartment picks up a lot of noise from the hallway and stairs; the owner can’t control the neighbors but beware if you’re a light sleeper! 3) this is the BIG one: the shower is very hard to use! As an average sized woman, it was very small for me. And the removable shower head doesn’t stay on the holder and in the middle of a shower it falls down. It could fall on your face or fall so that water sprays all over the bathroom. This was very challenging!
