Wow! This is an Airbnb that you do not want to miss! First, incredibly easy to find, with one of the most beautiful entryways decorated with blooming cactuses and vining flowers. You will be welcomed by Leo and Patrice’s friend Pedro for a quick tour of the apartment, which feels very Portuguese with modern, familiar, and tasteful IKEA furnishings.
A beautiful and clean space with an incredible view of the water, historic landmarks, and buildings. A full kitchen and washing machine was really appreciated for those packing light and staying longer. You will need to bring or purchase your own shower toiletries, laundry detergent, and dishwashing soap. There are also air conditioning units for both sleeping spaces, on particularly hot days and had a little issue with the bedroom air conditioner, but opening the many windows and creating a cross breeze feels incredibly comfortable. There is also a TV which has Netflix, for relaxing at home after long days.
The location is quieter than Barrio Alto and city center, which makes it easier to feel like you are living in Lisbon as opposed to visiting. It was easy to walk to the water or to the many historic sites, museums, restaurants, and shopping districts. Even if you are not interested in walking around, it was an easy location to call an incredibly cheap Uber to go farther.
I highly recommend this Airbnb, I definitely see Lisbon in my future again and would 100 percent hope to stay at Leo and Patrice’s place again!
