One thing that I really love about the whole experience is the fact that the host is very responsive.
Cabo Ruivo is a boring neighbourhood but it is about 5 mins away by metro from the airport and the apartment is right outside the apartment building, not to mention that Parque das Nações is a mere 12-15 mins walk.
The communication was great, and when I was held up at the airport and went past the check-in time, I received a phone call to rearrange it. Oh, shout out to the friendly neighbour whom checked on me when they saw me sat on the floor in the foyer. Would definitely stay again when I’m back in Lisbon.
