This was a perfect introduction to Portugal- Great host, great place- the room is even nicer than it looks in the photos- bright, very clean, well laid out and has everything you need- hangers for clothes, mirror, desk etc. The kitchen and bathroom and the rest of the house are also super clean and have everything you need, including a little table next to some big windows where you can drink your morning coffee- it is so bright than it feels like a balcony, even though it is inside. The kitchen also has a great coffee machine.
Gus is a wonderful host- from the minute I arrived he made me feel more like a friend than a guest. He was also flexible with check-in which was great as I had come off the night-train. He recommended a lovely walk which took me all around the sights of Lisbon and was a great balance of touristy and non-touristy. The street is quiet but there are restaurants, supermarket etc a few minutes away and you can walk into the main tourist centre in 1/2 an hour, or walk to the metro in 10 minutes. There were two other rooms being rented out on AirBnB when I was there and the guests were lovely and friendly, we had a nice evening chatting together with Gus.
