We loved our stay at Sara’s place in Lisbon. She met us at an easy drop-off point (you can’t drive up to the place) and was flexible when our flight was delayed. She walked us to the place, which was super helpful as Lisbon streets can be a bit confusing. Sara has a book of recommendations, from food to entertainment to sightseeing, with added notes that keep it updated. She made us immediately feel comfortable.
The apartment itself is wonderful. The stairs up to it are indeed very steep, so take your time. It is a smallish space but all the space is utilized perfectly to make you feel at home. The sofa bed is actually comfortable, the windows when closed block out noise, the ac works great, the kitchen is stocked, and there is a washing machine (which Sara has instructions for, can’t tell you how helpful that was). The water heater is small so space out showers if you’re with someone. We truly loved our time here. Location is perfect, nothing we wanted to do in Lisbon was more than a 30 min walk away.
During check-out Sara met us (the locks require a key to get in/out so you can’t just leave the keys). We forgot the second set of keys in our bag and Sara was extremely patient and kind to us about it. We were able to get them back to her that day thankfully. Thank you Sara!! We hope to come back to Lisbon soon!!
