Our stay at Marcos’ was delightful in every way. We strongly recommend this accommodation for any travelers going to Lisbon.
Why to stay here in a nutshell: the big confortable rooms, the gorgeous terrace, the central location and the nicest host you will ever meet.
The room
We had a very comfortable stay in this very large 2-widows room. The bed is large and welcoming. The wooden floors are a nice touch and the 2 windows gave us a nice view on a traditional Portuguese street while bringing sun and warmth into the room. The windows are double-glazed and block out the sounds of the street when closed. They are both equiped with movable heavy curtains the block out the light when needed. We slept very well.
Even though we only rented the room, we got a great use of the rest of the house.
The living room & terrace
The living room and terrace were warm and pleasant with an extensive collection of books (mostly in Portuguese but we saw a handful of books in English & French!). The terrace is HUGE. These spaces also have tables and 2 comfortable hammocks. The view from the terrace is a mix of traditional Portuguese housing buildings and a gorgeous patch of sea.
We liked the terrace so much that instead of going out to eat at night, we cooked at home and ate under the stars. We felt at home.
The bathrooms
There is one bathroom for women and one bathroom for men. They were kept very clean.
The kitchen
The kitchen was also kept very clean. We were allowed to use Marcos’ pans and kitchen utilities. We also had a dedicated shelf in a drawer as well as in the fridge. There is an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, and a washing machine we got to use.
The breakfast
The breakfast was a delicious and diverse buffet between 9 and 10am, we enjoyed it.
The host
Marcos was the most welcoming host we have ever had on Airbnb. He made sure we felt at home and had everything we needed. Our warmest thanks go to him!
