Gisela and her husbands are hands down the best AirBNB host we have had in all of our 5 stops around Portugal! From letting us check in early to providing my mother with needle and thread so she can sow in her off time. She even helped us store and bring up the luggage to the apartment which is unprecedented.
As far as the location. To put it simply....its perfect. Its on top of one of Lisbon’s 7 hills and you get a beautiful view but just walking 1 minute to the right of the apartment. There are supermarkets one minute walk from the apartment. Gisela was also kind enough to provide the whereabouts of nearby restaurants for both local Portuguese food as well pastry shops! We tried the seafood restaurant just down the street she recommended and it was the best seafood i had in all of Lisbon.
You’ll find everything you need from a coffee maker to a washing machine to be able to enjoy local living if you choose so.
Anyways it is definitely the best place to stay if you want an authentic experience!
The only downside is that the apartment is near the top floor so you have to carry up your luggage as there is no elevator. This could be a potential problem for some people, but like i said earlier, Gisela and her husband helped us bring our luggage!
