If you are looking for a place to stay in Lisbon and this apartment is available, stop looking and just go with this one. Everything was more than fabulous! The apartment is great, the view is breathtaking, the people we met in the neighborhood were extremely nice, the location couldn’t be better and the attention to detail that André demonstrated far surpasses any AirBnB host we have stayed with. Only caveat is that the apartment is on the 5th floor and there is no elevator, but that wasn’t problem for us, especially with that view (and if you are planning to visit Lisbon, you better be prepared to walk a lot, uphills and downhills).
The apartment is located in a lively neighborhood, with many restaurants and bars around it. Even though the apartment is at the center of the nightlife, the windows are soundproof and we didn’t here anything when we went to bed. The hosts also left many brochures and a PDF with recommendations of historic sites, museums, restaurants, bars and many other activities for us to choose from.
The apartment is great by itself and is definitely worth the price… but the best part of this apartment was André, the host we met in person. He offered to pick us up at the airport (for a low price) and he received us and gave us the warmest of welcomes. While driving, he gave us background information of the places we were driving by and he answered all question we had, including but no limited to the socio-political status of Lisbon, recommendations of things to do and where to eat after dropping our belongings. He also helped us with getting our luggage to the apartment, which was a great help (because as I said, the apartment was in the 5th floor). All of this while being the nicest and most lovable person ever; always with a smile. So even if this apartment is not available, I’m would recommend 100% getting another of their apartment, because theses hosts were just too good.
