My three best friends and I came to Lisbon to celebrate our 50th birthdays and 40+ years of friendship.
This elevator building in the charming neighborhood of Chiado is not to miss. The layout of this fifth-floor apartment was fantastic. We enjoyed relaxing in the living room and taking in the views of the river and the city. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated, and the beds were comfortable to sleep in. There were plenty of hangers and space to hang our clothes. There were two bathrooms, one full and one half which was nice to have with four girls. The kitchen was equipped with the essentials, the deck off the kitchen also had beautiful view of the city and an outdoor grill if you want to BBQ.
You must try the local Portuguese restaurant downstairs for the most delicious food – we ate there twice and go to the café across the street for coffee and pastal de natas. There are many convenient stores and a grocery market withing walking distance. The trolly is just outside. We walked all around Chiado, Barrio Alto, Alfama, to the Praca do Comercio, and to the Time Out Market. The location of this apartment is central to so many amazing sites!
A great host is super important when choosing an Air BnB. Pete was absolutely the best host. He met us at the house to show us around and was available by What's App for answering our questions and providing us restaurant and bar recommendations. He arranged a car to pick us up at the airport and take us to Sintra for a day trip. He also booked our car to pick us up at the house and take us back to the airport. This service was above and beyond and made our trip extra special.
I highly recommend Michelle and Pete's place for an unforgettable trip.
