Our Lisbon stay was a fantastic introduction to our first airbnb experience. Nuno has a couple of apartments; we stayed in the ground level Lapa studio with direct access to a private courtyard.
This charming, sunny, secure and clean apartment in a quiet, non-touristy locale close to everything Lisbon is exactly as pictured/described and comes well equipped:
- Fully functional kitchen for a short stay with a gas coktop, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, toaster, coffee plunger, kettle, cooking utensils, cookware, condiments and cleaning items.
- Bathroom has a radiant heater, wide surround sink enough for personal items; shower has plenty of hot water and good pressure.
- Comfortable, nicely firm bed with adjustable quilts for varying warmth, blind to shut out daylight and small panel heater.
- Additional thoughtfully provided items - laundry drying rack, hairdryer, iron, small ironing board, first aid kit. Entertainment system comprises TV, DVD player, CD player plus a small selection of DVDs, CDs and books. Wireless internet is fast and consistent.
Nuno is a friendly, welcoming host who was waiting for us when we arrived and took time to familiarise us with the space and explain his provided local map complete with recommended cafés, restaurants, parks and transport lines (tram, bus, metro). This was invaluable used together with the standard tourist city map. By chance we also had an opportunity to walk with him on our first day and he very helpfully pointed out local sights and amenities along the way. He also assisted us by booking a taxi to the airport for our early morning departure.
This was a great refuge to return to after a long day around town. We highly recommend this host and his apartments to all - this will complete your Lisbon experience - and can only hope that all our future stays will be of similar quality. Obrigado Nuno!
