Nelson is the textbook example of a great Airbnb host – communicative, helpful, smart and honest. I stayed at his lovely one-bedroom apartment in the historic Baixa Chiado. The area is quite charming and has all the characteristics that you would see in postcards.

The apartment is small but it has everything you need to have a comfortable stay. There is a double bed and it's quite comfy. The bathroom is very small – now I understand what Water Closet (WC) means haha.

At night, it's noisy and it dies down at around 1am. If you go to bed early this might be an issue. I put on headphones and fell asleep – no problem.

I would definitely recommend Nelson's apartment to any of my friends wishing to have a lovely quick getaway to Lisbon!
