I booked Joao and Aicha studio for a week here in Lisboa.
I booked kind of last minute, and Joao has been immediately in touch with me (I booked one afternoon for the next day).
Joao offered to pick me up at the airport (for a very reasonable fee), which is a bit of a treat and save you the stress of getting lost on your way.
Great start!
They both made me feel very welcome from the very first minute, being nice and warm.
The studio is located in a very central area (Rato), quiet but close to the action at the same time.
Many stores around, which make you feel as a local.
There is a beautiful church facing the building (Santa Isabel).
Principe Real is a 10 minutes walk, as is Bairro Alto, and Baixa Chiado metro station.
The studio has been newly renovated and is super clean.
It's quite large, and has been designed with an eye for the details.
The bed is very comfy.
It's also very quiet, which is unusual in Lisbon.
There is a very effective AC, which I really appreciated (even if I thought I wouldn't need any!).
I cooked some diners, and there is everything you might need in the open kitchenette.
Bathroom is brand new too. plenty of hot water and space. Nice design.
Wifi good and steady + cable TV for the lazy nights.
To make it short, it was a great pick, and I warmly recommend my hosts, and the studio, to the Airbnb community!...
