Wow.
Everything about this trip was perfect. And Lisbon is the most charming, beguiling and interesting city - exactly like our hosts!
Accommodation/hosts: Luis and Eugene were everything you could hope for in perfect Airbnb hosts. Friendly, chatty, funny and charming, nothing was too much trouble for them. From helpful advice and hints and tips at what to do/see and where to eat, and very innovative use of google street view to show you exactly where to go, to Eugene's wonderful breakfasts, all offered in a beautiful top floor apartment reminiscent of a Manhattan Brownstone.
The room was spotlessly clean, quiet and comfortable, and a huge bathroom for your private use. You also have access to a sitting room/lounge and a balcony off the kitchen. Luis and Eugene encourage you to 'feel at home' and you certainly do.
Location: 5 minute walk to the metro station, the metro is the best way to get around, and very easy to use and navigate. You're slightly outside of the 'centre' but you never feel far away, the metro only taking about 5 mins, and you can also try some of the more traditional and local eateries nearby - try Primavera, packed full of locals, absolutely delicious food from their charcoal grill and unbelievably cheap.
This is the best experience we've had in Airbnb, and we will certainly be going back and staying with Luis and Eugene again. Thoroughly recommended.
