Just back from 5 great days in Alexandre & Carolinas place. We've been to Lisbon several times, but this is the first time we've stayed in an AirBnB, but it certainly will be how we do it from now on.
All communication with the hosts was fantastic - very quick to respond to our queries. Carolina met us at arrival to the apartment, and made us feel at home immediately. She had lots of great tips! We really like this area and find it a great base from which to navigate and explore the city.
The apartment was just perfect for my partner and I. Very comfy bed. Lots of fresh towels etc. Bathroom and kitchen are compact but very well equipped and thoughtfully designed. Decor is modern and yet sympathetic to the tradition/age of the building. Everything we could have needed was included. Carolina even left us some coffee, bread and cheese to get us started - such a lovely touch!
There are a few steep steps up to the apartment on the 2nd floor - not an issue for us at all but something to be aware of. The apartment is 1min walk to one of Lisbons many look out spots - from which you can see the city spread out below you. You can also walk to Lisbons Ribeira market in 5-10mins which is just great to stock up on all the delicious food!
Carolina was very kind to hold our bags for a while after check-out, which really helped us out on our last day.
We will return again to Lisbon, and would certainly hope to stay in this apartment again! Overall a completely positive experience :)
