Now THIS is an example of just how good an airbnb host can be. We have traveled everywhere, literally around the world with airbnb and Elsa is the absolute BEST host we have found. Elsa provided an orientation of the area, brochures, advice during our stay and generally went able and beyond to help us enjoy lovely Lisbon.
Elsa's studio is in a great location, a short walk to the main street in Belem, but what is even better is that she provides two great mountain bikes to cruise around on. You can bike (or walk) to the Tower of Belem, Monastery dos Jeronimos, a range of other museums and monuments in the area and be in time for some Pasteis do Belem before lunch. Note many attractions are free on Sundays before 2pm, so those bikes do come in handy!
Everything really is conveniently located including a mini market and bigger supermarkets and fresh food markets. The kitchen is great and functional including a pod coffee machine generously stocked with coffee pods, brand new washing machine and excellent cable TV. The bathroom is nice and modern although the shower is very tiny. I'm sure the garden would be lovely to sit out in when the weather is warm (we were there in winter and it was rainy).
We could not be more happy, or thankful, for Elsa's helpfulness, friendliness, and general awesomeness. Thank you Elsa!
