For context, my wife and I travelled in Portugal for 2.5 weeks and stayed at six different Airbnbs in six different cities (Lisboa, Lagos, Évora, Lamego, Arcos de Valdevez, and Porto). We feel this itinerary gives us a good perspective on accommodations in Portugal.
We would highly recommend this apartment. Things we liked about this apartment:
1. The location is in a quiet area of downtown Lisboa but it's close to the beautiful Av. da Liberdada, lots of great restaurants/shops/stores, and within walking distance to the traditional neighbourhoods (Baixa, Chaido, Bairro Alto, and Alfama). The apartment is less than a five minute walk to the subway/Metro, which is a cheap/convenient mode of transportation to/from the airport.
2. The apartment was very clean, well-equipped, and a perfect size for two people. It is located in a very secure, newly renovated, and quiet building. The shower was fantastic! Courtesy provides welcome treats and excellent documentation for area restaurants/stores (including maps) and the apartment amenities. The apartment even had wash/face cloths, which is appreciated by North American travellers. The washer (including detergent)/dryer combination was very convenient.
3. The host (Bruno) was excellent. We were in contact via WhatsApp from the time we landed in Lisboa and he was very patient waiting for us while we cleared Portugal customs (2.5 hours) and took the subway to the apartment. He showed us around the apartment, provided area information, and was available via WhatsApp during our entire stay incase we had any questions. We had one minor issue with the hot water and Bruno came to the apartment that day and made the necessary adjustments.
Things to consider about this apartment:
1. The apartment is near the top of a steep street. This is typical for Lisboa. Something to consider after a long day of walking or arriving with suitcases from the subway/Metro. The street is usually quiet with some music playing in the evening, which cannot be heard from inside the apartment.
