The location: It's less than a five-minute walk to the Cais do Sodré
bus/railway/metro/ferry station and three decently sized supermarkets
(meu super, pingo doce, minipreço); it's also very close (less than a
ten-minute walk) to the neighborhoods of Baixa, Alfama, Rossio, Bairro
Alto -- in short, this apartment's location couldn't be any better when
exploring the many great sights Lisbon and its vicinity have to offer.
Moreover, the apartment is also very close to Lisbon's entertainment and
nightlife district (if you are a light sleeper, however, you might want to bring
your earplugs so that the boomy bass of nearby bars won't bother you
during the night; moreover, you might want to deactivate the doorbell
at night as apparently ding dong ditching is still a thing for some people).
The apartment: The apartment is as bright, roomy, and sparkling clean as
the pictures suggest and the kitchenette is well equipped and decently
sized. Moreover, some necessities are provided by the hosts (water and a
bottle of wine; salt, pepper, and sugar; rice; tabs for the dishwasher
and the washer/dryer; garbage bags etc.)
The hosts: As it was our first time in Lisbon as well as with Airbnb we
couldn't have asked for better hosts than João and his team. They were
quick to answer all of our questions and when we arrived at the
apartment we were greeted by João who gave us a quick introduction to
the apartment and the city.
