Paulo was a wonderful and welcoming host. We arrived to a space that is just as the photos show in decor and layout. It’s quite charming and beautiful. The bottle of wine and espresso was a welcomed surprise. He communicated promptly which made reaching the apartment easy. The neighborhood is local and friendly.
One of the biggest and most important aspect of staying at any space is its cleanliness. The bathroom and kitchen were not clean. Once morning came we were disappointed by this. The larger room smelled like cat urine and is quite unpleasant. These are very fixable concerns but they will make a HUGE difference because the space is so wonderful. This area is very hilly and is cobbled stone throughout. It’s beautiful but be prepared to travel light. The entrance to the apartment has STEEP stairs. It’s Europe so spaces are much smaller so I would suggest a small roller or backpacking. This was a delightful and absolutely wonderful experience. We are looking forward to returning to Lisbon very soon.
