This is honestly the perfect place to stay in Lisboa! It was our first Airbnb and if they are all anything close to this good, we will never stay in a hotel again.
It started with our wonderful host, Nelson, who showed us around the beautiful apartment. He was very nice and professional and gave us lots of good advice about Lisboa. He showed us how to operate all the appliances (which were very helpful and all worked perfectly), including the dish washer, clothes washer and dryer, TV with lots of choices such as NetFlix and Wi-Fi. He was always available if we needed anything and he responded quickly to any questions we had. We had to leave for the airport at 2am and he arranged a taxi to pick us up, which was very helpful. He was particularly kind in leaving us a delicious bottle of Portuguese wine.
Then, the apartment...wow, what a gorgeous place! It is a huge two bedroom, two bath with a beautiful view of the city and Rio Tejo. The living room and dining area is very large and spacious. The couch is very large and comfortable. We set up our laptop at a desk near the windows with the view of the city. The bedrooms were spacious and the bathrooms were very nice. We have heard that it's hard to find apartments that do not get very cold or very warm, but the temperature was always perfect and heaters and air conditioners were always available if we needed it (but we didn't).
And the location could not have been better, right in the heart of Chiado. We could walk to most of the best restaurants, nightlife and shopping in Lisboa within 5-15 minutes. It was easy to walk to the Cais do Sodre train station to go to Cascais and take the ferry across the river. It was also easy to walk to the Rossio train station to go to Sintra.
This apartment made our stay in Lisboa so relaxing, fun and easy. Muito obrigada for everything!
