What can I say?! Nicole and Frederic were amazing with their introduction showing us around the apartment and offering tips for sightseeing in Lisbon! Very welcoming and engaging. They had provided breakfast items (bread, cheese, ham, fruit, salad, coffee, etc) for our arrival, which was unexpected, but very welcome. Beer and wine were available in the fridge too. The apartment is not like other airbnb’s we’ve stayed in, like staying in someone’s home with all the personal touches that come with a home, not just an apartment. The kitchen was fully equipped for anyone who loves cooking (which we did on a few nights) and the BBQ was a total bonus. Both beds are en suite with an extra shower-room. For two couples we were extremely comfortable.
Santa Apolonia station (about 5-10 mins walk away) opens up the entire city. Travel is cheap and easy - though first time visitors might be initally confused by the machines for purchasing tickets. Best option is the ViaViagem card which can be topped up like London's Oyster Card. There is also a great supermarket located inside the station.
All in all, we had a wonderful stay in Lisbon and cannot recommend Nicole and Frederic's apartment highly enough: Merci pour nos merveilleuses vacances!
