I am very happy I chose to stay with Mélanie in Lisbon. Mélanie and her cat Oscar are so kind and caring. I had a lovely stay! Mélanie is an amazing host. She stayed up and waited for me at my arrival past midnight and was very responsive. She sent me a list of all the hidden gems to visit and places to eat, and she was so kind to show me the cool street art in the neighbourhood.
The bedroom I stayed in was big and the bed was comfy. The flat's placement is close to the metro and quiet. I had a good night's sleep. It was nice having my own bathroom! The kitchen is well equipt and it was nice to be able to sit outside and eat breakfast.
The only downside was, that since the flat is in the basement, it tends to be a bit cold and damp during the winter/spring, but nice and cool during the summer when it gets hot. So I would recommend bringing a jumper and some slippers. Mélanie was so kind to find an electrical heater for me! :D
Besides that, everything was great! I recommend. ^^
