Elsa and Rui’s place was amazing! Location is its strongest asset-it is near train stations, restaurants, bars, and many other things. Further, while it is a stone’s throw from some very good eating and nightlife, the apartment set off of the main road a bit so that you can sleep with very little noise pollution. The place was accurately described as well. Regarding communication, I couldn’t have asked for better hosts. Upon arrival, they had Guilherme pick us up from the airport within 5 minutes of getting our bags. Once we arrived at the house, Rui and Elsa sent us an email with tons of suggestions near to them. This was a really splendid experience! I will definitely consider staying here upon any future return to Lisbon.
Note that it’s not the most modern apartment, but any setback that would cause is more than made up by all the things above.
