I loved this place! Maria Conceição is an incredibly dedicated host and made me feel at home right away. Her way of communicating with her guests is perfect - everything was very clear right from the beginning and she was so very welcoming. Anything I needed, I just had to say the word. This is actually more than one can expect from an AirBnB host.
The appartment was perfectly situated for my needs: I did not want to stay right in the historical touristy center and I wanted to see all the city: The famous sights, sure, but also explore beyond Baixa and Chiado. The neighborhood is quiet, not too posh, so it is ideal for those who seek somewhat of an authentic Lisbon experience. There are many public transports running from nearby Praça Paiva Couceiro (7 bus lines) and the metro lines (green and red - the latter goes to the airport) are a 15-minutes walk or a short bus ride away. This is a nice hub to go south to the center (Cais do Sodré, Baixa, Praça do Comércio), but also eastward to the Parque das Nações - (Oriente) with the impressive Vasco da Gama tower and bridge or to the Museu do Azulejo. It is no problem (and really cheap) to get to Belém and even to the Atlantic Ocean in Cascais. Also check out the other bairros (neighborhoods) of the city - Lisbon will keep surprising you!
Near the appartment, there are lots of Cafés and small eateries, a small supermarket, but also a big Lidl supermarket.
I was here in during a very sunny July week and the room had a very nice sleeping temperature - just let the air in during the cooler night and morning hours and lower the blinds during daytime. The mattress is medium-hard and I slept like a log. Kitchen and bathroom have everything you need. This has been a very impressive and outstandingly pleasant experience, thanks to the attention and dedication of Maria Conceição. She is the world's best host! Obrigado Maria Conceição, não vou esquecer esta semana maravilhosa!!
