We were greeted at the front door with a warm smile. A tour of the apartment followed. Fresh fruit, a bottle of Portugese wine and fresh Pastéis de Nata were provided. A very thoughtful and generous welcome gifts. The apartment is modern and maintained like a 5-Star hotel. Immaculate. Spotless. Beautiful spacious bathroom and shower. WIFI strong. We enjoy cooking some of our meals when traveling and chose to make an elaborate meal for our New Years Eve dinner. We had a selection of pots and pans and cooking utensils as well as olive oil, vinegar and sea salt. It's a calm space with excellent views by day and night of the river and surrounding area. Extremely atentive and responsive. Our comfort is her key priority. It felt like home. Location is ideal. Time Out Market is across the street which includes restaurants, gifts, fresh flowers and produce. Maps and restaurant recommendations are provided as well as umbrellas, a market shopping bag and toiletries. We like to walk and we enjoyed climbing the steps and hills to enjoy restaurants, shopping and sites. There are trams, buses and a metro system as well as funiculars with easy access. The city is beautiful. The local pastries are delicious. Many people speak English. People are friendly and kind. It was our first visit to Lisbon. We fell in love with the city. Our beautiful AirBNB apartment enhanced our experience and was the cherry on top. We'd stay here again. A longer visit next time. Well done Catarina!
** One word of caution which came as a surprise, there are men on the street offering drugs. It's common. We ignored them. They're annoying but harmless. They aren't really selling drugs. They are rip off artists. The police are attempting to crack down on them.
