Staying at Pedro and Claudia's apartment was a great experience. Upon arrival in Lisbon, Pedro (and his father Carlos) were extremely helpful in coordinating the pick-up of keys, and allowed my girlfriend and myself to store our luggage ahead of the check-in time. They were very friendly and courteous.

The apartment is in close proximity (~5 minute-10 walk) from major transportation connections (#15E Tram to Belem, the Metro subway, and Interregional trains at Rossio station); major attractions (e.g. Rossio Square, Arco da Rua Augusta, Santa Justa Lift); and shopping areas (e.g. along Rua Augusta, Chiado, and Avenida da Liberdade). On the 2nd&4th Sundays of the month, Avenida da Liberdade hosts many vendors of vintage and handmade accessories, antique pieces and crafts, and we were very fortunate to have experienced this open-air street market.

The immediate neighbourhood area had a few small restaurants that smelled amazing and were full of customers even late into the evening, but unfortunately we never had a chance to visit. Despite some twisty streets, the neighbourhood felt safe and lively.

The apartment itself is quaint and cosy, although the ceilings were a little lower than expected. There is a standalone air conditioning unit that was greatly appreciated during the humid days in Lisbon. Unfortunately it was very rainy during our stay so we were unable to take advantage of the cute outdoor sitting space.

The hosts are very helpful, friendly, and keep in good contact. The apartment is cosy and the amenities were all in working order. The close proximity to major attractions was a big advantage. Overall, a very pleasant experience.
