Ian’s place is truly amazing. It’s extremely clean, bright, cozy, and so comfortable. He has thought of every single thing that a guest could possibly need, and it made our introduction to Lisbon and Portugal a lovely one. And we found the mattress to be fantastic and supportive - one of our favorite things.
There are a couple of things to be aware of before booking, but should in no way discourage you from doing so:
1. There is a fairly steep, short hill up to the apartment building, followed by three flights of also-fairly-steep stairs. My husband has knee problems, so we were worried at first…but he handled it without issue.
2. The pictures reflect the beauty of Ian’s place, but when we first stepped inside, I was surprised at how small it felt. The photos made me expect something larger. After the first day, though, it felt perfect. Everything is more efficiently designed than we’re used to as Americans, and the size was just right. I was sad to leave!
