The apartment is in an excellent location in Santa Catarina - close to lots of action but just far enough away to be quiet. Alex and Caroline thought everything out very well and the welcome with lots of local advice by the hosts was just perfect. The photos show the genuine article - it is a sweet place with style yet not fussy and very comfortable. The hosts were so thoughtful and left us fresh bread and local yummy cheese, porto, coffee and tea; in addition they made a local cell phone available for the duration of the stay which was just perfect for making local reservations, etc. And of course one of the beauties of using Airbnb in general is the very local sense you get - with the hosts telling you about their favorite spots - and here was no exception. All of Alex's recommendations were absolutely terrific and definitely the highlights of our stay. I would definitely recommend the apartment (and Lisbon!) to anyone headed in that direction.
