Wow— If you are planning on visiting Lisbon, please stay here! Henrique and Pedro went above and beyond as hosts. The apartment is gorgeous, and is central to so many sites and areas of interest in Lisbon. It’s on the top floor, so it’s a bit of a workout, but the view from the balcony makes it 100% worth it. Also, I love staying in a place with lots of natural light, and this apartment delivers on that front. It’s a nice blend of modern and and old-world charm.
We appreciated being welcomed at arrival and having areas of the city mapped out for us with some pointers (The pre-arrival emails were a nice touch as well, so i could get a sense of what was around the apartment and adjacent neighborhoods). It made it easy for us to decide where to spend our time, since we were here for 6 days.
They also checked in on us a few times during our stay, and gave us some great recommendations for restaurants (Prado + Basilio in Lisbon, 5 Sentidos in Cascais). Additionally, my husband wanted to get a haircut, and they responded quickly with recommending a local barbershop just steps away. My husband loved the result!
Henrique and Pedro do not miss a beat with hosting. They are so welcoming and excited to share their hometown with you and all it has to offer. We were already excited to visit Lisbon, but having them as our hosts made it that much more special. We were sad to leave! They took such good care of us and we really felt like we were at our home away from home. If the opportunity presents itself, we would without a doubt have them host us again. :)
