We were in Lisbon from London for a family wedding and stayed at 2 Beca da Lapa for 5 days. It was the perfect place for us. It’s up one of the many narrow winding lanes in the old Alfama part of the city, and is a modernised, compact, 1-bed flat on the ground floor of a townhouse. We enjoyed eating out on the small patio and loved being so central, near good metro/train and bus transport, yet off the beaten path. One of us had been to Lisbon before but we found plenty to discover together, both within walking distance and up to an hour’s journey away. The Gulbenkian’s garden alone is worth the visit and we loved the Costa da Caparica where the wedding party gathered. 2 Beca da Lapa at the end of each day really did feel like home.
Tiago and Ana needed to be at the airport themselves the evening we arrived and went well beyond the call of airbnb duty by giving us a much appreciated lift back into town. Otherwise we communicated by text, with questions answered quickly. Maximum stars, then, for both flat and hosts. Highly recommended.
