BOOK THIS HOME! And don't think twice! We were a group of six American girls traveling to Lisbon for the first time and could not be happier with how it turned out. Francois was welcoming and very communicative before and during our stay and put us in touch with Ines, who will welcome you, check you in and is there should you have any issues (we didn't!) they both filled us with recommendations for restaurants and sightseeing and we took advantage of much of it (they were spot on).
The house is just gorgeous and totally comfortable. We had plenty of room and the four bathrooms for a group of girls was a godsend. The view from the terrace is as advertised and we spent a lot of time there enjoying the view with coffee or wine.
The neighborhood is upscale and gorgeous and close to many restaurants but if you're headed to the city center, it's just a quick bus ride away or a longer walk. Bring comfortable shoes with rubber soles since the streets are steep and slippery and you'll do a lot of walking.
In short ... book Francois's house if you are considering Lisbon ... and know you are in great hands. We were sad to leave but will absolutely be back. Thank you Francois and Ines!!
