This was my first Airbnb experience and I can only describe it as A+++. First, Ricardo's communication was always timely, accurate and positive. I specifically wanted a house in Belem. Belem in only 15 minutes from central Lisbon with enough sights of its own to keep one busy. The house: location,location, location. It was literally a one-two minute walk to the bus stop. There were neighborhood restaurants when we wanted to be in Belem in the evening. The house is lovely, well appointed and comfortable. I rarely comment about the bed - a lovely sleep. The shower - great. Thank you for the wine. The kitchen was well stocked with enough staples that we didn't have to go out and buy anything. The weather wasn't great but obviously that was well beyond Ricardo's command. We did sit in the garden on a nice evening. As you can see from the pictures, the house is minimalist in design - and well done. It is walking distance to anything you need, although we did not ask about a laundromat nearby.
Let me not forget to mention the mobile wifi device which ran the house's internet. You could unplug it, put it in your pocket and always be "on" around the city. This was not my first time to Lisbon so I knew the city - of a sort. Having wireless access everywhere an anywhere kept me from getting lost, put me in touch with bus schedules, restaurant reviews, etc. I would return anytime and wish Richardo the best with his house. We loved the picture of Grandfather!
