My cousins and I (with my nearly two-year old niece) stayed at Miguel and Rita’s flat for three nights and we wish we could have stayed longer! The location is very convenient for exploring Lisbon on foot but if at the end of the day one is tired from all the uphill/downhill trekking, there are convenient bus connections as well as the Metro that will bring you to Avenida da Liberdade which is just a few steps away from the flat. We found the neighbourhood very charming with lots of local colour thrown in. Despite being so central, the area was quiet and we felt safe walking home late in the evening. The flat was sparkling clean and tastefully put together. It had everything that we needed – linen, cutlery, china, microwave, coffee maker, kettle – everything! Miguel and Rita are the perfect hosts – warm, friendly and welcoming. They gave us the feeling that they enjoyed having us in their home, in their city. From the time our request for reservation was confirmed, Rita and Miguel got to “work” providing us important information: details on how to reach the flat from the airport by bus, metro or taxi; answering all our questions regarding public transport, sending us the bus schedule for our trip to Fatima, telling us about the delicious “pasteis de nata” from the Fabrica da Nata which is just a few minutes’ walk from the flat, even assuring us that the weather would be great (because of the week of our visit fell on the feast of St. Martinho when traditionally, the weather is perfect; and it was! – sunny, bright and very pleasant.). The beds were very comfortable and our hosts even asked us how we wanted the two bedrooms to be set up, considering that we were with a toddler. They also provided us with a very detailed guide/recommendations for visiting different places around Lisbon. This will come in very handy and useful for guests who arrive with no plan yet on what to do/where to go. We could see that a lot of care was taken to ensure that the flat was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything that guests could need for short or long stays. The personal touches really made a lot of difference and puts Rita and Miguel up there with the best of Airbnb hosts. Miguel patiently waited for us at the airport, brought us to the apartment and helped us with our luggage. Rita was on hand to welcome us and show us around the flat and to answer whatever questions we had. They were very flexible with the check-in and check-out times and Rita even booked a taxi to take us to the Bus Terminal at Sete Rios. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and one of our most memorable Airbnb experiences and we all highly recommend Miguel and Rita’s flat. We wish we could have stayed longer; we would definitely stay there again if we find ourselves...
