Nuno and Isabella were wonderful, accommodating hosts. Our flight didn't arrive until late, and they were able to accomodate a late, in person check-in for us, which we really appreciated. Nuno explained all about the apartment, and gave many suggestions of nearby places to eat. He also helped arrange a taxi to take us to the airport. Excellent communication with very prompt responses. They even provided 2 bottles of chilled water for us, and a bottle of wine when we arrived, which was very nice. Excellent hospitality!
The apartment is in a perfect location. I highly recommend it and would absolutely stay here again the next time I visit Lisbon. The view of the castle from the window is charming, the apartment is spacious, and even though it's in a central/busy location, I didn't hear any street noise when we went to bed. We stayed 2 nights, and didn't want to leave.
Two tips for guests that may stay here. 1) The air conditioning works really well, and makes a slight periodic creaking noise. My husband didn't notice it at all, but I'm a very light sleeper and was glad I had ear plugs. 2) The hot water can go out in the building, but can be fixed by resetting a button. You may want more information on how to handle this, but it is quite rare so you likely won't experience this. (We discovered we had no hot water at 3AM and preferred to take cold showers rather than trying to contact/disturb our host in the middle of the night. Not a big deal.)
We absolutely loved our hosts and the apartment and definitely recommend it. We can't wait to come back to spend more time in Lisbon. Thank you again for everything Nuno & Isabella! :-)
