There are hosts, there are super hosts, then there’s Henrique. Anytime we as anything he instantly obliged. He arranged for the cleaners to come in early so went could move in early. Anyone who has flown transatlantically know how important that is. He told us about a service called Luggit (app available) that meets you at the airport, takes your luggage and then delivers them where and when you want in Lisbon. We found them a godsend and very reliable.
Pay VERY serious attention to his restaurant recommendations. They were outstanding.
They flat want comfortable, just as described. I love the neighbourhood,, which wasn’t touristy, but a slice of vibrant Lisbon life, with very convenient grocery stores and cafes.
A note to seniors and others with mobility handicaps: the stairs are daunting and the shower isn’t walk-in. If this is a problem, contact Henrique. He has many other properties in Lisbon. There would be no one more willing to go the second mile to help you.
