We booked a couple of Charles' apartments in Lisbon for our big group of friends and had a great experience. Charles was a great host, kind, responsive and welcoming. He organised everything for our stay and made sure everything went smoothly. Charles gave us great tips for the neighbourhood, including brunch at Heim Café which was delicious (just opposite the french embassy and one minute away) and lunch in the garden of the museum of Arte antiga, which is only five minutes from the apartment. You can access the garden and café without visiting the museum (just tell the staff you are going to the restaurant) and there is an amazing view over the river from the beautiful private garden. We never would have found this! The apartment itself was beautiful, spacious and so sunny, even during our mid-January stay. Charles has done a great job decorating, it's stylish and confortable with everything we needed for our stay, including fully equipped kitchen and new, modern bathroom. Neighbourhood is great, trendy and very close to the centre (ten minutes walk to Barrio Alto, five minutes to the river, etc) but not touristy at all. We had a great stay and will definitely book again when next in Lisbon!
