What a great experience. Manuel's home is modern and beautiful. I very much appreciated the dressing room in addition to the two bathrooms, which provided an extra level of comfort. This apartment is large and comfortable with a well-appointed kitchen, two outdoor spaces and plentiful places to hang out. Note that only one of the two bathrooms have a true shower. The other bathroom has a great soaking tub with a spray nozzle for rinsing off. The beds were comfortable, and it was nice being able to heat (and cool) each room individual according to its needs.
If you are unfamiliar with European shades and lights, it is good to ask how they work during check in. If you are unfamiliar, it might be difficult to know how to lower the shades and how to turn on the lights in the hallway while waiting for the elevator (and that you need to keep the elevator door open a bit as you sort out which button you'll push to reach your floor.) The only thing that didn't quite work for me was the bathroom lighting which wasn't direct enough to apply makeup. This is so minor in the grand scheme of things, though. I will definitely seek out this home the next time I'm in Lisbon!
