This is a truly beautiful multilevel apartment in a great part of Lisbon.
---Location, Belem
I don't really know if the location is considered Belem but it was a 10 minute walk to Pasties de Belem (the infamous custard pastry) and all the main tourist sites (Geronimos Monastery, Belem Tower etc) The apartment is set a couple streets back from the main square. Near metro stations. Fabulous location to see Lisbon.
--Property
On our 2 week trip in Portugal, this was one of two occasions we were able to stay in an Airbnb and feel like we were living like the locals. Beautiful. This was by far our favorite Airbnb, hands down. Walk up some stairs to the first level, living room, kitchen, access to wonderful outdoor patio area, bathroom, washer/dryer. Up a set of internal stairs and you are at the guest bed area, and then the master bedroom. Master bath is beautiful with double sinks. Air conditioning throughout. The outdoor patio is very unique. The trees and vines make you feel so secluded. The only thing is that a family lives on the bottom (basement level) They have curtains up so privacy isn't an issue. Being that it was just my Wife and I, we didn't have any issue with it. But a more rowdy group would definitely disturb the family below. There are artistic touches throughout the apartment, and little stories and sayings that explain the history of the house. It was truly a special place.
--Host
Sofia was an excellent host. She was accommodating, responded quickly to all questions, and offered a book of suggestions and sights to see. Her father checked us in. What a pleasant, kind man he was. He was so funny, and made sure to show us everything the apartment had to offer. There also some check in treats that were a great touch. Sofia and her father made sure our time in Lisbon was memorable, and it was. Thanks for everything!
