We stayed 15 nights at Nuno’s apartment and really loved it. It’s located in a safe and lovely neighbourhood, not touristy, more where residents of Lisbon live. It’s off a main commercial road which has many shops, restaurants and services along it, including a nice grocery store where we bought our food and drinks. There is also a small convenience store almost directly below the apartment, if you want quick access to snacks and drinks.
The apartment is nicely decorated with many personal touches. It is on two levels, adding to it’s uniqueness and also has windows at front and back of apartment. The air conditioning in main area is very nice but we found in the evenings, if we opened windows front and back, we had a wonderful breeze for sleeping.
Very bright in living area as big windows looks out over large central area of other buildings. It is on 5th floor with a shared terrace, and has an elevator for easy access to the apartment. The building’s common areas, like foyer and stairs, were very clean and well maintained.
Even though it’s not in the touristy area, it is a short walk to the Roma Station, on the Green Metro line. This line takes you straight into the heart of the tourist areas, and when you see how hilly and steep some of the streets are, you will be glad you’re staying in a flat part of the city. We found the metro very easy and safe to use and very fast. As well, the train to Sintra has a station stop a short walk away on the main street. Very handy as Sintra seems to be a must see for tourists.
We met Nuno at check in, he was very personable and welcoming. Prior to us meeting him, he was always very prompt at responding to any inquiries, which continued throughout our stay. He checked in with us after we were there a fews days to see if things were fine. We really appreciated Nuno’s approachability, as we needed to find medical help and he helped us find what we needed and continued to check in to see how things were. When in a place you’re unfamiliar with, having a person you felt cared about how you were and didn’t make you feel like you were bothering them, was very nice.
We are very glad to have discovered this Airbnb and would love to stay here again if we ever return to Lisbon. Thank you, Nuno.
