This is the best airbnb I've stayed at anywhere in terms of value, location, the friendliness, and helpfulness of the host, and the all important uniqueness factor. The apartment is located in a centuries old, beautifully restored building in the most beautiful part of Lisbon, the Alfama. After 5 days of experiencing kms of walking throughout Lisbon, honestly This area is hands down the area I would select again to stay in on a return trip. The stairs to the loft are the original stone steps and many of the other architectural and structural parts of the apartment are also very old making this place very interesting. I cannot say enough about Juan and his thoughtfulness. Juan found out that it was my birthday during my stay, and that I had experienced recently a devastating and tragic event in my family. The day after my arrival I returned back from sightseeing and there was a small vase of cut flowers with a card waiting for me. Juan is what the founders of this website envisioned I'm sure when they conceptualized the platform. He really goes out of his way to make his guests feel welcome and at home.
