Luis is an excellent host with great communication and hospitality. He met us at the apartment and walked us through to be sure we knew where everything was, as well as answered any questions we had.
The apartment is a little homely and basic with an eclectic flare. It is centrally located in a neighborhood with an authentic Portuguese “neighborhood” feel- adjacent to some of the busier streets and activity, but set back enough to be quiet. Easy access to many restaurants, bars and historical sights.
Luis recommended the restaurant next door (Churrasqueira da Paz) and that was a fantastic suggestion. Family owned and run, fresh food and well prepared. We had ours as take out and enjoyed it on the terrace with a couple bottles of wine. I highly recommend it!
It is not well described, but the second bedroom is accessed by going through the office/possible third bedroom (they are attached). Occupants of the second bedroom will need to walk through the office/3rd bedroom in order to access the rest of the apartment and bathroom. Also, in the summer, be mindful that the office contains the AC unit for those two rooms. If you did close the door between the second bedroom and the office, the second bedroom would not have AC.
You will also need to be able-bodied as both stairs inside and outside of the apartment are steep. This would not be a good place for those with mobility concerns.
A great spot to enjoy all that Lisbon has to offer.
