My boyfriend and I just returned from 2 weeks traveling throughout Portugal and our stay at The (ever-so-lovely) Nest was, without a doubt, our favorite part.
Henrique went WAY above and beyond to make our first trip to Lisbon special, from meeting us early (on a Sunday, no less) to going over in incredible detail how to best experience Lisbon. We kept the map he marked for us on us the whole trip and he didn’t steer us wrong on a single recommendation. In fact, I’m keeping the map for our next trip out to keep ticking off all the great spots he recommended that we weren’t able to fit in to our whirlwind stay.
The apartment itself is perfectly situated, it’s clean and airy, the shower is amazing, and the balcony is really a cherry on top. There was also all the basics you could need and more. I especially appreciated that there was a hair dryer available. That and a lovely welcome basket with a red wine that we got to enjoy with our whole family once we all met up in Porto, which made it feel as though we got to share a bit of our Lisbon adventure with them.
All of this is to say, the apartment is perfect, but our host made it even more so. Staying at The Nest is a reason in itself to visit and explore Lisbon. Thank you so much, Henrique (and Pedro), for setting the pace for an amazing trip! We hope to visit again soon!
