This is a very cute apartment in a cool part of Lisbon! Easy walking distance to lots of great neighborhoods for food and exploring. The apartment is clean, and Paulo is very kind and responsive. He gave us a map of Lisbon with lots of suggestions on neighborhoods to explore and places to eat!
A couple items to note from our stay:
- The listing says it provides shampoo/body soap, but there was none for our stay.
- The listing says it provides a hair dryer, but we also could not find this in the apartment either.
- The apartment was not cleaned by our specified check-in time. Paulo did let us drop our bags at the apartment a little ahead of check-in, but ultimately the apartment was not cleaned from the previous guests until 3+ hours after the check-in time on the listing. This was frustrating as we were coming off a long-haul flight from the other side of the world, so we were tired and wanted to be able to shower and rest a bit. Based on our conversation with Paulo though, this was truly a fluke, so we did not let this impact our whole stay and we would still recommend staying in Paulo's apartment.
- As stated in the listing, Taxis and Ubers can only get so close to this apartment. The walk from where they drop you off the the apartment is uphill and all cobblestone (difficult to pull a suitcase on). I do not recommend booking this apartment if you are traveling with a lot of stuff.
Overall, Paulo's apartment was a perfect little spot for us to spend a few nights in Lisbon and assuming the apartment not being cleaned on time was truly a fluke, I would recommend staying at this apartment in Lisbon.
