We can only say wonderful things about Antonio, our host in Lisbon. He absolutely was the best of our now almost a dozen airbnb experiences. He sets the standard. Warm, gracious, friendly, informative and helpful, even enlisting his equally warm wife to assist us in responding to whatever we needed. He not only explained things to us, but in giving directions to various places, he drew an annotated and clear map. The apartment is small but beautifully decorated, a testament to his esthetic gifts. Everything, including the appliances, television, fixtures, were new, modern and of high quality. Antonio provided wine and water, fruit and coffee for us at our arrival. Everything looked lovely and worked well. The street below could be noisy during day and night with street restaurants, a few historical tours and night celebrators, but the windows effectively insulated us from that. The balcony let in fresh air, and the air conditioner worked well when needed. A short downhill distance away was the Largo do Carmo, a square where there were numerous outdoor restaurants and almost continuous live music -- rock, jazz, classical guitar. The lighting at night makes it a visually beautiful setting for a meal, a drink, or simply a free seat at the ongoing musical festival. Just off the square is a bridge leading to the Santa Justa lift, that provides both a phenomenal panorama view and an assist to those who choose not to navigate the descend downward towards the center of town. This was a lovely place to stay, but most importantly, Antonio was a great ambassador for his people and his city.
