Joao &Alfiya were superb hosts. Joao arranged to pick us up at the Lisbon airport as it was our first trip to Portugal. In addition, he conducted a brief tour of his neighborhood so we were familiar with local stores, restaurants, points of interest and unique antique shops. One could not have anticipated more from our very first AirB&B experience.
The apartment was large, clean, comfortable, and very secure. The wi-fi connections worked well-an important feature for most travelers. Also, the location was ideal as we were about a one minute walk from one of the highest parks in Lisbon which afforded us great views in a very pleasant atmosphere. Plus, we were a 7 Euro ride, or a pleasant walk from the main square of Lisbon.
We strongly recommend this location as a pleasant and inexpensive alternative to traditional hotel room.
As an example, we had three very fine meals for two people for less than 30 Euros at a beautiful 250 year old bakery that was a 5 minute walk from J& A's place. Two small neighborhood markets with fresh everything are located along the walk to the bakery.
All-in-all, our first AirB&B experience would have been difficult to improve upon.
