Chiho and Nuno are top-notch hosts who are willing to help, answer questions, and make recommendations. Nuno picked us up from the airport and gave us a layout of Lisbon on the way to the apartment, pointing out helpful landmarks as we made our way up the hill to Chiado. We found the guidebook in the apartment very helpful - restaurants, attractions, maps - as well as helpful tidbits such as tipping % conventions.
The apartment accommodations are beautiful, clean, and centrally-located. Situated in Chiado and above a pastel de nata (delicious Portuguese dessert) factory, the flat is walking distance from a lively nightlife scene. (The apartment windows are soundproof so we did not have trouble sleeping with the noise level). We had everything we needed in the spacious apartment other than US outlet converters - towels, sheets, hair dryer, etc. were provided.
The Portugalicious tour to Sintra and Cascais is a lovely excursion. Nuno (your guide) was born and raised in Lisbon so knows many local secrets and can provide historical context for the landmarks and geography. We found it helpful and accommodating that Nuno assessed our interests before solidifying the itinerary - so we had input!
We are complete Airbnb converts after our stay in Lisbon and plan to return to Chiado/ other Chiho and Nuno-managed properties in the future.
