Rita and Henrique are Airbnb professionals and work as a team. They are delightful and helpful in every way including arranging a private taxi service from the airport (highly recommend at 17.5 €), meeting me and helping carry my luggage. They were very pro-active when I had a problem with the apartment lock, turning up at midnight until 1.30 a.m. to change the lock and to give me the new key. The apartment is a little jewel, newly renovated, extremely clean and stylish and everything you would need for a homestay is supplied. The well-designed kitchen ia a dream. I was there for one week and couldn't have been happier. The apartment is located in the heart of Alfama (oldest part of Lisbon) and walking distance to everything including all the Fado bars and restaurants, downtown Lisbon, the Metro and Rossio train station.
They turned me on to a delightful little restaurant, right across the street called Lisboa Tu a Eu. Maria, the owner makes all her traditional Portuguese dishes fresh every day. All the food is wonderfully tasty and the prices are very reasonable. I ate at least one meal there every day, with delight.
Thank you Rita and Henrique for the bottle of great wine, your warm and gracious hospitality, for taking good care of me and being interested in cheching out my work and website. I highly recommend My Lisbon Love Affair and would stay there again on my next visit.
