Sergio was by far the most welcoming and kind host we have ever had with airbnb. We have never been treated with so much care and hospitality like this before. Upon arrival, Sergio put our bags down and sat us down, as he treated us to delicious Portuguese pastries. He gave us an itinerary of things we might be interested in, among which were suggestions of places to go and things to see. We took Sergio's suggestions on board and were pleasantly surprised by how much we enjoyed visiting these places. Sergio helped us navigate ourselves around Lisbon and was always there to discuss anything we needed. Perhaps the best thing was that although it is Sergio's apartment, he makes you feel as if it is your own. Indeed, we felt just like we were at home. He gave us all the privacy we needed, yet was always there to welcome us with a warm smile and ask us how our day was. In terms of the room itself, it is incredibly clean, bright and spacious. The bed was irresistibly comfortable, and the bathroom was large which made showering after a long day pleasant. The neighbourhood itself is very safe, very clean and the inhabitants were very friendly and welcoming. We visited all of the main areas in Lisbon, and Sergio's was by far the best. Since the parliament is just down the road, we felt safe and as if we were in an important part of the city. Literally everywhere was within 10 minutes walking distance, including Marques de Pombal square, the famous tram 28, the metro station 'Rato', making Sergio's apartment conveniently located to all the important things, yet not too close to the noisier and busier areas of Lisbon. In the neighbourhood too there are some of the best restaurants and cafes for you to enjoy traditional Portuguese food. Overall, Sergio made our trip to Lisbon special. We formed a great bond with him, and when we come back to Lisbon we will be staying with him most definitely. This is the best option for couples who want to come to Lisbon for travelling, sightseeing, and for romantic city breaks.
Thanks Sergio, and good luck!
