Amazing host. Having stayed in Airbnbs all over the world, I must say Ines is one of the best hosts. She owns the place and is very responsive. Allowed us to check in earlier as the prior guests were leaving early. Arranged for a key pick up for another friend who was coming at a different day and time. Also was extremely helpful when we got locked out at night due to keys left in the apartment. We were stressed but she asked us not to worry and made necessary arrangements (despite that she was out of town). She made sure we can continue to enjoy our night without stress. So huge thank you to Ines.
The place is LARGE.Coffee pods and cookies were provided and she offered to drop off more coffee pods if needed. While there were only 3 of us (we all wanted our own bedrooms), it can easily fit 6 people or more. The leaving room and dinning area is enormous with so many Windows. And a great view of the river. Its an old building and hardwood floors are old, but that was the charm. Location is amazing in Chiado. I am so glad we stayed here. It was perfect to walk to river, the timeout market, Bario Alto, Liberdade and so on. There was street crowd noise till 2 in the morning during the weekends, but once you close the windows you can't hear much.
While it's not most luxurious or 100% renovated (still there are several upgrades), If I come back we would definitely want to stay here. Not just for the place and location, but extremely helpful and accommodating host.
