I have had a lot of great airbnb experiences, but this was one of the best!

The apartment is amazing- spacious, cheerful, immaculately clean, and stocked with everything you need. Helena has really thought of everything. I stayed here by myself, but it's a great apartment for up to 4 people because it has two bedroom each with a double bed. The apartment has a great eat-in kitchen, a comfortable living room in which to rest from Lisbon's steep hills, and a large bathroom. Plus, there's a huge roof deck with a fantastic view of the city.

I loved the location. It's away from the more touristy part of the city, but within a short walking distance to most sights. You're staying in a real neighborhood, so there's easy access to grocery stores, pharmacies, and restaurants. Plus, there are numerous bus stops right near the apartment and you're only a 10 minute walk from the metro.

Prior to my arrival, Helena sent me detailed information on visiting Lisbon and gave me directions to the apartment. She met me when I arrived and could not have been nicer. She showed me around the apartment and asked me about my plans before taking me for a drive around the area so I could orient myself. Afterwards, she continued to check on me and was incredibly helpful with tips. I told her I was planning on going to Setubal for the dolphin tour and she sent me step-by-step directions on how to get there, including exactly what time I should take the train in order to make my tour. Helena is the perfect airbnb host and you can tell she really cares that you enjoy your visit to Lisbon.

This was a wonderful apartment to call home for a week (I didn't want to leave) and Helena made what was already a great trip even better.
