We had such a great experience at Casa da Mãe D'Água I! We arrived about an hour late because of a flight delay, but Fátima was quick and easy to communicate with, and she was there to greet us when we finally made it. She gave us a bunch of great tips for experiencing the city, showed us around the apartment, and even had some tea and pasteis de nata waiting!
We walked in and were blown away by all the personal, thoughtful details that Fátima & João put in to their flat, from the fashionable accents, handwritten guide book, smart tv, extra pillows, bathroom amenities (so few places give a girl some conditioner!) - almost everything was thought of, and they really go above and beyond expectations.
The flat is right where you want to be in Lisbon. Just be aware that while it looks like on a map that Príncipe Real is right at your doorstep, you do have to walk up a few flights of stairs (or take the longer less inclined route). This is just the reality of Lisbon!
Thankfully, the flat has an elevator for when you just cannot bear walking up another step, and the bed is comfortable to rest your sore legs! The blinds are amazing and block out every ounce of light. The shower is small and the corner door is a bit awkward to navigate , but the rainfall shower head is nice and the water pressure is great. If it looks like it's going to be a hot one, ask the hosts for a fan and they will accommodate! There is no AC and you might need it to sleep.
I highly recommend this airbnb - you will not be disappointed!
