Strategically located in the Historic Center of Lisbon, this rental is a gem. My husband and I were delighted by the place, the owners and our entire experience. The 2-BR apartment is super clean and neat, stocked with the necessary household products and materials -- dishwashing soap, towels, linens, etc, as well as free wi-fi and a TV. The exposed beam rafters and skylight lighting make for lots of atmosphere, and the furniture is comfortable. Little things make a lot of difference to us, like the full bookshelves and the espresso machine. Antonio and his wife, Ines, are perfect hosts, available to answer any questions and to recommend favorite restaurants. They clearly love living in Lisbon and, based upon our brief experience, it is hard to blame them. It is a very cool city!

The steps leading to the 4th floor rental are the ONLY proviso. There are 80 stair-steps between the entrance to the building and the apartment. (My husband counted them!) There are three landings on which you can pause and rest on your way up. This rental would probably not be a good option for anybody with really small children, or those who -- for any reason -- might have difficulty with stairs. My husband is 71, and he managed them okay, but then he is a heck of a guy in good physical condition. The stairs are definitely not a deal-killer, but they are a consideration. Bottom line: This is a marvelous rental in a marvelous city. Highly recommended!
