From the moment we arrived in front of the building, it only took Jorge 2-3 minutes to reply and say that his cousin Manuel was close by.
Manuel helped me with my luggage which was well received after a long trip.
We were shown around the flat and discussed what was there to see near the flat and main attractions in Lisbon.
There was a stack of maps and brochures with things to do and see in Lisbon. We didn't use any of them as we did our own research before getting to Lisbon.
There are plenty of restaurants less than 100 metres away from the flat so there is no need to panic that you have to walk a long distance to find somewhere to eat. On our last day in Lisbon we wanted to get an early dinner but were told that most restaurants open for proper dinner meals at 7 pm (just like in Spain) so be prepared to have a few Pastel de Nata to hand in case you get hungry :).
There was some wine, cheese and bread left to welcome us which was very well received. There were also 4 beers in the fridge (still not sure if these were left for us or from the previous tenants but we enjoyed them very much), some cheese, ham and a few water bottles.
There was just one issue with the shower in the sense that you had to leave it running for quite a while for the hot water to stay on constantly. The next person that took a shower had the same problem but the third one didn't have any issues so I am not sure if this problem is something that we could have caused or not, although I don't see how we could have.
I cannot recommend this place enough. I have used Airbnb before but this is the first place where I actually didn't want to leave.
I am now thinking of my next adventure to Algarve where Jorge has another property!!!
