Olga is just the best host we ever met throughout out Airbnb experiences. She made us feel so welcomed and always available for anything we needed. She goes way beyond the expectation, we felt we were staying at a friend´s house, although it was the very first time we met.
The place is amazing, starting with the location, just few steps from the subway station and from El Corte Inglés, which has everything (literally) for shopping. The apartment is located in a small residential building with few neighbors and within the neighborhood there are plenty options of restaurants, shops, touristic attractions, etc, however in a very quiet and calm street.
We stayed in the apartment for more than 20 days and we did live like locals. We would go for our grocery shopping in the El Corte Inglés (a huge supermarket with lots of great products from all over the world), ate some of our meals in all the neighborhood restaurants (padarias for breakfasts, some lunches at tascas, and dinner in the 7th floor of the El Corte Ingles or took the subway to the most touristic places (Chiado, Bairro Alto, Oriente). Also, if you enjoy exercising, there are two wonderful parks (Eduardo VII and Monsanto) where you can walk and jog as much as you want. If you are coming from the airport, you can take the subway straight from the Terminal to the apartment and it takes 20 minutes max.
We could not be happier with the host and the place. It was a wonderful experience overall.
