What a wonderful Airbnb experience with Paulo!
First of all, he was a FANTASTIC host — he met us in person and gave us a thorough explanation of the place, as well as lots of recommendations of what to do in Lisbon — he even gave us a Google map he created, which we were able to use all three days!
Secondly, the location couldn’t be more perfect. Right by Castelo St Jorge, so close to everything and very easy to find your way back to, but still in a very quiet neighborhood, allowing for a restful nights. Previous reviews mention the stairs and the hilly neighborhood — this is all true, but for two able-bodied individuals with moderate luggage we did not find it to be a problem whatsoever.
Third, the apartment itself is just right for two folks on holiday. We found the bed to be SO comfortable, and we slept soundly every night (note: bring earplugs if you want to sleep in, as the footsteps on the floor above could sometimes be a bit loud). The views were just as beautiful as the photos suggest, and we loved sitting on the balcony, drinking our coffee in the morning, or sipping the complimentary port wine in the evening.
If you’re looking for a relaxing and yet centrally located place in Lisbon with a great host and a beautiful view, look no further!
