Alexandre and Carolina's apartment was a dream! The apartment is located quite centrally in a very cute, old and dense neighborhood of Lisbon, but the apartment itself is on a quiet corner. It's small, but furnished beautifully, and with a lot of thought. Unlike a lot of airbnbs these days, their apartment has a lived-in feel. They have thought of all the details for anyone who would want to feel at home: hangers for clothes, a hook for towels, tea towels, napkins, clothespins to hang clothes, etc. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots and pans, and pantry essentials, which made it very easy for me to cook during my stay.
The bedroom has a tiny window that looks out into a view of Lisbon. Each morning I'd wake up to the sounds of birds. This is a minor detail, but this added so much beauty to my experience staying there.
My stay happened to coincide during the time that covid was starting to become a pandemic, and I needed to change my plans a couple of times. Alexandre and Carolina were very accommodating and flexible.
