We were welcomed by Nuno who explained the entry procedure and helped us with our cases. The apartment was bright and welcoming and conveniently situated for the metro and buses. We used the metro from the airport which was really easy. We did not use the kitchen other than for making drinks, but it was well supplied with all that would be needed for the minimal cooking normally done on holiday. We were not sure if a hairdryer was supplied, and did leave the message a little late, but Nuno kindly provided one, which was very helpful. The apartment was ideal for us, having a balcony which we used to people watch, laugh at the traffic antics and marvel at the graffiti on the buildings across the road. We found a cafe at the end of the road which was ideal for breakfast, and a family restaurant near the next metro station which served very good fish, had friendly staff and was reasonably priced. Overall our first visit to Portugal got top marks on all fronts and we cannot wait to return, our first experience of Airbnb which was good, messaging did seem a bit difficult as some methods did not seem to get through.
