We have used Airbnb almost since the start and this was probably the best apartment so far, at least for two people. You could tell someone is actually living here, as opposed to the apartments from commercial operations that now is so common on Airbnb, because everything just worked – the planning of the space, the utensils in the kitchen, shelf space in the bathroom, lots of wardrobe space and drawers, everyting. Of course the large terrace is a big plus, where we had both drinks and dinners, even using the outdoor barbeque. What’s maybe not coming through clear enough in the ad for this apartment (although many reviews mention it) is the excellent location. Not only is it really close to the metro (Intendente stop), and the legendary tram #28 passes right outside – there is also lots of service really close. There is a high quality grocery store literally next door and below the terrace (that is on the other side of the house) is a market where they sell fresh meat and fish among other things, and next to that is a Lidl! (Only minus: They cook their takeaway food in the mornings and the smell from the frying is noticable. Nothing we couldn’t live with, we just closed the door to the patio for a couple of hours.) On the way to and from the metro you find lots of smaller grocery stores and restaurants – Nepal, pizza, kebab and more. And if you want to indulge in grilled shellfish – and when in Lisbon you should – you’ll find a great restaurant right where you come up from the metro: A Marisqueira do Lis, with simple furnishings, local crowd, busy staff and fantastic food without any fluff. Ricardo is a supernice host and was always available.
