This was our first airbnb experience and I think we may have been spoiled!
The apartment was a perfect home base for our family of four to retreat to after a day spent exploring Lisbon. Very charming, and bright with beautiful views of the city. It was also very quiet at night (even during Portugal Day celebrations) and the window shutters closed up to make things dark for sleeping ... which was very helpful on the first few days of jet lag.
We LOVED the Graca neighbourhood too! It wasn't the least bit touristy and had lots of sights, parks and amenities a super short walk away. We felt very at home there and managed to find many local haunts.
Anabela took great care of us too! She was a warm and conscientious host in every way, but she really went the extra mile when she found out that 3 of us, including our young son, were shakily recovering from food poisoning (from a cool downtown restaurant no less). She was at our door with homemade soup and crackers to help nurse us back to health. Incredibly sweet!
