Where shall I begin…
When we arrived in Lisbon, the host was waiting for us at the metro station to guide us to the apartment. Top notch service from the start, and something you really wouldn’t expect. The host and his family are extremely nice, we watched Formula 1 together and ate at their place, and got a real taste of Portuguese culture – it’s probably the best food we’ve had all vacation! The hospitality was out of this world, and we immediately connected with the son of the host who invited us to party with him on the last day of our vacation. It was great fun! The host also welcomed us with a nice Portuguese wine and cheese.
Next, the apartment. Our expectations were very much fulfilled and beyond. The location of the apartment is great, it’s in the historical center of the city, and just down the street is an amazing viewpoint. Everything you need is within a couple of minutes of walking from the apartment – the busy city center or some nice restaurants. The location really is the best of both worlds as it’s close to all the activity (also very close to clubs, which was very useful in our case), while at night it’s relatively calm. The son of the host also sent us endless info on fun activities to do in Lisbon, great restaurants, viewpoints, squares, city highlights, etc. Basically a personal tour guide. The apartment itself was very modern and quite luxurious, you really wouldn’t expect this quality for the price point (in a good way). Everything was clean, and the two bath rooms were very useful as we were with a group of six. The apartment also includes a dish washer and washing machine, which makes the whole experience just very easy and comfortable.
So, if you’re staying in Lisbon, I can’t imagine you’ll be disappointed in any way if you rent this AirBnb. For us, the hospitality is what really stood out and made it a special experience for us. Aside from that the location and quality of this apartment is just all you wish for when staying in Lisbon with friends for a couple of days. Go for it!
Thanks Vasco and family, we hope to stay in your AirBnb again some time.
