Ana Clara's apartment in Lisbon is fantastic! The attic space is beautiful, with slanted wood-paneled ceilings and sky-lights pouring light into the space with beams that move around the room as the hours go by. Bear in mind that it is on the fifth floor of a building lacking an elevator, so be prepared to climb some stairs! But I guess if you've come to hilly Lisbon you're prepared to do some uphill walking :) The apartment is larger than I anticipated and larger than any of the apartments I've stayed in in Europe. Ana Clara met me at the apartment early, before check-in, because I was arriving from the airport earlier than the listed check-in time but she still let me get the keys and drop my bags and go explore Lisbon while the apartment was being cleaned after the previous guests' stay. She gave me some pointers about neighborhoods, restaurants and bars to check out, and had a pastel de nata (portuguese egg-custard tarts, if you're in Lisbon you're gonna end up eating several of these flaky, delicious sweet treats) and some ginja (traditional sour cherry liqueur, which tastes better than it sounds!) waiting for me on the desk. While most Airbnb's I've stayed in feel very much like a sterile hotel-room style apartment, while Ana-Clara's loft felt very much like a home. There were books, art, cozy furniture and even pictures of family around the apartment, making it feel much more comfortable and homely than some of the places I've stayed. Also included were nice touches like a super comfortable bed, shampoo, shower gel and toothpaste, a US-power travel adapter already at the desk (which was handy as I'd forgotten mine in Madrid the day before!) and plenty of different lighting options. Getting there from the airport was super easy--just one transfer on the metro and within an hour or so you're in downtown Lisbon surrounded by restaurants, bars, shopping and attractions. Lisbon is a fantastic city, and I enjoyed every moment of my stay there, in great part due to the fact that I had a wonderful place to stay!
