Where do I start?
The Area: This is the perfect location for being in the middle of the city. You’re close to tourist attractions, low end and high end shopping, amazing restaurants (large and small), and the location is very secure and welcoming. The building is very quiet and I didn’t have any issues with noisy neighbors or noise from the street below. It’s the perfect location to stay while in Lisbon.
The Apartment: Sergio’s apartment is amazing. The photos online are exactly what the apartment looks like. It’s well furnished, has all the appliances and utensils you would have at your own place. The balcony is great to just sit and enjoy view of what I would call True Lisbon. From the bedroom, you can wake up to a bright morning sun and a view or you can close the blinds and curtains to have a totally blackout room. The bed is very comfortable and will put you to sleep once you get into it (heavenly). There’s is more than enough closet space and drawers to use if you should need them.
The bathroom is well appointed and Sergio had toiletries and clean towels ready when I arrived. There are more than enough electrical outlets throughout apartment if you’ll need to charge multiple items.
The living-room is well furnished and with a good view of the surrounding areas through the balcony glass door and windows. There’s a tv with US channels if you just want to chill at home. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to make your stay more of a home stay. It is an amazing apartment overall. You will not be disappointed if you book a stay at Sergio’s.
About Sergio: Sergio is the perfect host and such an amazing human being. He’s very kind, thoughtful and always read to assist. He made me fell welcome and kept in touch with me during my entire stay. A PLATINUM host in my book.
Sergio also provides you with a guidebook with instructions on how to operate the electronics in the apartment, recommendation for restaurants to visit and places for sightseeing. After reading the guidebook, I was able to navigate the streets of Lisbon without any issues.
There’s so much information in the book you can tell that Sergio put a lot of emphasis and care in creating a book for all types of travelers.
Overall, I had an amazing time at Sergio’s. I wouldn’t think twice to rebook.
