The apartment is simpe and nice. No doubt about it. The view you have from the cute balcony is stunning. Im even wondering how the view from the castle could beat that. The apartment was big enough for a small family like ours (2 adults and one baby) and barbara was nice enough to find us a crib in which our baby was able to sleep.

On the down side however, it did not start well at all. We were provided with 2 time slots to recuperate the keys(11am and 3pm) and they were not flexible on those. For those that have never been to Lisboa, city is very nice but streets are very narrow; and especially around that apartment where parking is quasi inexistant. Because of the baby we had a tons of a luggage and before dropping the rental car, i wanted to drop the luggages at the apartment. We got there at 3h10pm and there was no one! Nobody was picking up the phone at the number left. I received a text message at 3h25 telling that they would not be able o give us the keys before 4h15. Absolutely inconvenient with baby and no parking space to wait one hour. I had to write a fairly direct text message to the person "begging" to get the keys before that. "Miraculously" the grocery right in front of us had a copy of the apartment keys and we were finally able to get in. I find absurd why that was not proposed in the first place, especially in the context where we never met Barbara nor has she tried to establish contact with us during the 5 days we were in Lisboa. That was my first time using airbnb and I thought at least we could have discussed face-to-face with our host and that was also the principle to get the local flavor of the place you will be staying in. That was quite disappointing.
