I have been travelling across Greece and Portugal for the last four months for the purposes of my work. I have stayed in a number of different places through Airbnb and this has easily been the best experience I have had during this period.

The apartment is lovely. It is well equipped with a high quality finish throughout, whilst being comfortable in a homely manner. I only wish I could afford a place like it back home.

The location is very good, being in the middle of all the action around Baixa, Chiado and Barrio Alto, whilst only being short walks away from the very pleasant Principe Real or over towards Alfama. It is also only a ten/fifteen minute walk away from the Cais do Sodre, the train station, where you can get to interesting places like Belem, or the lovely seaside town of Cascais.

The Courtesy team are superb. I could not fault the service of Ana, Rafaela and Paulo who have throughout my (almost) five week stay have been attentive and generous (the little weekly goodies were always something I looked forward to), though always respecting my private space. Essentially, I was made to feel at home.

And at its essence, this is what my experience has been, a home away from home. I am going to miss it dearly!
