I've stayed in *a lot* of Airbnbs in a lot of countries, and this is hands down the best I've ever stayed in; I've been raving about it since I got home. Some of the highlights:
1. The space: This is so well decorated and laid out. There were tons of thoughtful little touches throughout, from the toiletries in the shower, to the madeira wine in the living room. It was pretty mild weather-wise while I was there, so between using the heater at night and leaving the windows open while at home during the day it was perfect. Lovely view from the windows, and you can get a free fado concert from the restaurant across the square if you leave the windows open! The little private patio is *so* nice as well.
2. Hospitality - Hosts were amazing. I booked an airport pick up and drop off through the rental, and that made settling in much easier. They have an entire guidebook and map of things to do around Lisbon. They even sent me a bunch of pre-travel COVID testing options throughout Lisbon, which made it much easier to navigate being a non-Portuguese speaker.
3. Location: The location really cannot be beat. Everything I read said Alfama is a great place to stay, but a lot of other Airbnb reviews warned about the stairs in older buildings and the hilly cobblestone streets that can be really difficult to schlep a suitcase up and down. This unit is very cozily nestled in a quiet part of Alfama, but close enough to the main roads that getting a pretty big suitcase there wasn't that difficult. You're at a great jumping off point to seeing a lot of what Lisbon has to offer. Alfama itself is so great for exploring, highly recommend just wandering through the neighborhood.
Genuinely one of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had, I will absolutely be back!
