It started well, right off the bat, with the responsive and clear communication after booking and flexibility in making additional arrangements (e.g. airport pick up).

The accommodation is right between two historic touristic points of interest (Sé de Lisboa and Casa dos Bicos), in the heart of the old city. We could not think of a better location.

We were picked up by our host Gustavo from the airport and were introduced to Lisbon on the way in. Gustavo is very welcoming, knowledgeable and full of humor. He had many good suggestions and tips (e.g. about the queue in front of Pastéis de Belém, ask him...).

The apartment is in an old, characteristic yet well-maintained house. This makes for a great atmosphere. Just when other guests are a bit noisy, you will hear them. Nothing to worry about, but you will notice.

All was 'as advertised' and better. Recommended.
