We were visiting Lisbon as a small group of 18 year olds. The 6 of us stayed at Alex and Renata's place for 4 nights in early July. We found the apartment to be very well equipped with cooking utensils, and the apartment was indeed sparking clean. We especially loved using the pool which is actually larger than it seems in the photo. The pool deck was very sunny so it was great for sunbathing and it is definitely hot enough in July to want to go for a dip! One thing i did not realise was that Lisbon was so hilly! So it can feel a bit tiring walking up to the apartment but i think all of Lisbon is pretty much like that so don't let that put you off. There is a large supermarket (pingo doce) within walking distance of the apartment, and there are quite a few small but great quality restaurants and souvenir shops in the area. It's not far from the station so it wasn't difficult to get around. The hosts are absolutely lovely and very hospitable. Alex even allowed us to stay past the designated morning check out time in the apartment on the last night as our flight was in the evening, and there was not going to be another group of people coming in later that day, so we were able to spend the last day well, not rushed and not hindered by our suitcases. Overall, we found our stay here just wonderful, and would definitely return!
