Mónica and Bruno's apartment is nearly perfect by my standards. Very clean, comfortable furniture, good water pressure in the shower, excellent WiFi, tastefully decorated, quiet, and in a perfect location - in a safe neighborhood with short walks to shops, restaurants and public transport. On top of this, the hosts are extremely responsive, helpful and kind.
I have nothing negative to say but will mention two things just to be aware of:
- Lisbon is a very hilly city full of stairs and steep climbs and descents. If mobility is an issue, make sure you have a plan for getting around.
- After a rainy period, the drains in the apartment may emit a mild sulphur smell from backed up sewers, which is not unusual for cities with older infrastructure. The odor, which lingered only in the kitchen, did not bother me but if you have a very sensitive nose and are visiting in a rainy season please be aware.
Overall, this was a fantastic experience and I would definitely choose to stay here again given the chance. Thank you for your hospitality, Bruno and Mónica!
