First off, I just want to say that Helder is awesome and a truly MORE than a Superhost. Right from our first communication post booking - he absolutely provided me with any and every info needed for our trip to Lisbon. He was quick to reply, where I was the one taking time to get back to him. He was also kind enough to pick us up at the airport and drop us off too! All through our stay he was always available and accommodating to every request. He always made sure we were Ok and comfortable.
Now the apartment - set in a residential area, not too far from the main city and with amazing amenities, literally at your door step - local bakery, convenience store, great restaurants and the metro station. Loved the location. Great for families and couples alike!
The apartment itself was sparkling clean and tastefully decorated. It was spacious and well lit and enough and more space for a family of four. My 2 year old even had toys to play with and she really enjoyed them. Helder has made sure that the kitchen and the utilities were well stocked. We never needed to buy anything extra. He had even got us Milk and chocolate milk for the kids! Not just that, he got us some yummy famous Pastel de Nata (from the local bakery) as a welcome present. Everything there was top notch! Helder’s hospitality is really at another level.
We loved the area and the safety and calmness of it all. The fact that we could get to the city and Odivelas so quickly on Uber - was really convenient. We had an amazing time in Lisbon and it’s no small part thanks to our very comfortable stay at Helder’s lovely apartment. I highly recommend staying at Helder’s apartment, without a second thought. It will be our top and only choice when we travel back to beautiful Lisbon again.
We got a first hand experience of why Helder is a super host and why his place is a “rare find” - this is 100% true and some!
