Teresa's apartment was our first Airbnb experience and it was a great one! To begin with, our flight was delayed and Teresa had already arranged our pick up from the airport. When I contacted her to let her know, she did not hesitate and said the pick up was not a problem at the later time. We arrived around midnight to the apartment, kindly picked up and driven by Durate. Teresa was there to greet us with wine, water and Pasteis de Nata. Even with the time we arrived, Teresa and Duarte took the time to provide us with a map indicating places to see and options to get there.
The apartment was clean, well equipped and we had lots of space for the two of us. It was a great location to get around. We could walk almost anywhere we chose to go but there were public transportation options as well.
The apartment was close to restaurants, markets and even a chocolatier. During our stay at the Enchantment of Lisbon, we ate at the local restaurants on the corner by the apartment. The food was great at all three. The staff at Arcaz Velho next door to the apartment were extremely friendly and helpful when explaining and suggesting menu items to try. We were not disappointed!
We had chocolate and wine from the chocolatier up around the corner. They too were very friendly and helpful. It was tucked a little out of the way, but was a great reward after a walk exploring.
There was a lot to see and do and with our few days there, we probably just touched the surface. Perhaps we will return Teresa - We didn't make it to Sintra! Thank you for opening your apartment to us.
