We had a wonderful time staying in this apartment. It is exactly as it appears in the ad, and has a very cool and funky vibe due to the many artistic touches around the home, and to the large front doors which open fully to provide a lovely breeze throughout the space. This was the 8th airbnb that we stayed at on our 4-week European holiday and while every one was great, the hospitality shown by Artur and Sara was beyond compare. Sara met us at the Museu do Fado ( a 2 minute walk away) in order to accompany us to the apartment and assist us with our luggage. When we arrived, we were presented with a bottle of wine, fruit, pastries and a map of Lisbon, detailing all the high spots including restaurants (the Ramiro seafood restaurant is an absolute MUST; arrive and receive a ticket to come back at the specified time and then go for a drink elsewhere or stay in the lively waiting area to watch the excitement as guests' numbers are called), tourist attractions , pubs and cafes (the LX Factory is another must-see location, with Landau Chocolates making the BEST chocolate cake EVER). Sara must have spent nearly an hour with us, detailing all the many recommended spots and how to get there. They even provided us with pre-loaded transit passes in order to explore the area, which is conveniently located and very easy to access by the various modes of transportation (take a ride on the Number 28 tram for a wonderful, scenic adventure through Lisbon's hilly streets).
When I realized only the night before that we didn't have to be at the airport until the end of the day, Artur was so accommodating, coming to meet us in the morning to accompany us to another apartment to store our luggage for free and then meeting us again at the end of the day and accompanying us and arranging for an airport taxi. Again, the level of hospitality on this rental was simply outstanding and we would highly recommend. Thank you for everything Artur & Sara!
