My brother and I had a wonderful stay in David's flat. I arrived in Lisbon on Saturday morning and since the previous guests left early, David graciously allowed me to check in early and was at the apartment to greet me with the keys. We had a coffee at the wonderful little family-run convenience store around the corner and he gave me some great tips about where to eat and how to get around the city.
The flat was exactly as pictured- clean linens on all the beds, a good selection of dishware, clean shower with good water pressure, and more than enough bathroom and kitchen supplies for our three night stay. It was a bit warm the first night but the windows open both halfway and fully and there was a fan that kept the air moving nicely. There is one big hill to climb to get to the flat so be prepared when you arrive. The view down the cobblestone street overlooking the rooftops of Lisbon makes the climb more than worth it!
I ended up putting some of my belongings in a cabinet for safe-keeping and forgetting them there when we left for a two day trip to Lagos. When I messaged David about them, he responded right away and contacted the cleaning lady who turned my items over to him. He was kind enough to coordinate with me the day we returned to Lisbon so that I could pick up my items. I am so grateful for his kindness and will definitely stay with him again if I return to this beautiful city!!!
