João and Paula were wonderful hosts! Our flight landed earlier than expected, and they accommodated our needs by allowing us to check in early; we are grateful.
The apartment seems newly renovated with a clean, modern design. Almost every amenity was considered in the construction and furnishing of the apartment. Felt like an upscale hotel suite.
The location is absolutely perfect. We enjoyed being in an area that was close to all the tourist attractions, yet removed from all the tourists. It is close the old part of Lisbon, Alfama, and not that I know what an authentic Portuguese experience is like, but I feel like this apartment was probably the closest we will get.
We met many nice people in Lisbon, but Paula is probably one of the nicest people I've met in my life. If you need anything, she is happy to oblige. She clearly explained all aspects of the apartment and helped us get the layout of the neighborhood. She was a highlight of our stay! João was professional, friendly, prompt, and accommodating in our communications. We felt lucky in all aspects of our stay.
Thanks again!
