We absolutely LOVED this apartment! It is a bit intimidating traveling to a new city for the first time, so when a host is willing and able to greet you upon arrival, it gives you a sense of security and reassurance that you've chosen a great place to stay. Nicolas was a gracious host. He was kind enough to carry our bags up 4 flights of stairs. Although the stairs are cumbersome, the reward for losing your breath walking up them is the amazing views from the apartment! It is spacious, sparkling clean and well-decorated. We felt at home staying here. It's as beautiful in person as it is in the photos. You will not be disappointed! Nicolas was kind enough to allow us to drop our bags off early while the apartment was being prepared for us and he also checked in with us in the middle of our stay to make sure all was well. The apartment is within walking distance to most things you will want to see and do during your stay. Note: Be prepared to do a lot of walking uphill and get yourself some comfy shoes! Lisbon is an amazing city and we couldn't have asked for a better stay!
