My first experience with Airbnb - and the sad thing is, I doubt if it will ever be topped. A glorious apartment, unimaginably thoughtful curation of the space, fresh flowers, bread, honey.

Antonio and his wife were such generous, warm, charming hosts. We ate hour-old miniature seafood in a superb wine and garlic sauce and talked about Antonio becoming mayor of Lisbon. He should. We'll be back.
