Really enjoyed our stay at Bica Terrace Apartment. Luis communicated, via text & AirBnb app, multiple times prior to our arrival, and was flexible - as our flight was delayed. He met us at the building entrance and showed us to the apartment and explained everything and the local area. Very friendly guy and willing to accommodate, at our departure time, as well.

The location was actually really good. When doing research, I thought the Bica neighborhood and apartment location might be too far west of Biaxa & Chiado neighborhoods, but it was just a few blocks from a lot of restaurants in Barrio Alto. Also, the location was just fine, because 2 blocks, up the hill, from the apartment entrance, was a 28E Trolley stop, which took us right through Chiado, Biaxa & Alfama neighborhoods - which was PERFECT for getting around all of the "old town" areas. And there were tons of shops, bakeries & grocery options near the apartment, and the streets were well lit. Traveling with my wife and her grandparents and we felt very safe in the area, even late at night.

The Apartment itself was fantastic! Yes, there are stairs to get to the 4th floor, but the view is well worth it. Whenever we were in the apartment we just sat there and admired the beauty of the river and buildings, and from the deck you can also see the Christ statue & "Golden Gate" bridge, to the west. Inside the apartment, everything is very nice, clean, and comfortable (including the beds). And as we were leaving, the professional cleaners showed up, which is great to know for any visitor. Also, Wi-fi worked great.

One additional note: There was a 1 Euro (per person, per night) fee that we paid Luis for city tax or something, which is fine, but I'd prefer just increase the AirBnB rate by 8-9 Euros, so we don't get a surprise fee, upon arrival. But it was no big deal.

Thanks Luis for letting us stay at your apartment and we'd definitely recommend your AirBnb to others and look forward to staying again, on our next visit to Lisboa! Beautiful city and a great host! Thanks again! ~Gens & Annie
