My friend and I were traveling to Lisbon for the first time with very little knowledge of the city or where to stay. The location of this apartment was so central to EVERYTHING we wanted to see in the city and it was on one of the most picturesque blocks in Chiado. The space in the apartment comfortably fit 2 people (but you can squeeze 3 without a problem). The outdoor deck is definitely an added bonus and a nice place to enjoy a glass of wine while getting ready for dinner or watching the sunset. When returning back home at night the street was filled with young people enjoying a drink from one of the many little hole-in-the-wall bars that line the block. We felt really immersed in the night life culture but never once did we feel unsafe. The street can get a bit noisy at night, but the windows and doors are relatively sound proof and did a good job blocking it out (shortly after we confirmed our booking the team made sure we were aware of it and during our stay we honestly weren’t bothered by it at all - even on the nights when we went to bed early). Our hosts were easy to get in contact with for any questions and the recommendations they provided us with were stupendous!
We were celebrating my friend’s 30th birthday while in Lisbon and Gançalo and his team went out of their way to organize balloons and champagne upon our arrival which made our experience all the more memorable! I would highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone looking to travel to Lisbon. If you are like me and reading all the reviews to help reinforce your decision I hope this is the review you read!
