I stayed at Lourenço’s flat in Anjos for around 2 months, from February to April, while I waited out for the renovations to conclude at my next apartment.
I cannot stress out how much of a magnificent, caring, delicate and attentive host he was. Never intrusive, very easy going, always checking weekly trough text for my needs of something or asking if anything was amiss. He left me new sheets and towels at my door throughout my stay without me asking, and even managed to hook me up with a small vacuum cleaner that he bought on purpose for my autonomy (even if he asked a few times if I wanted someone to clean up the house, since it was a long stay).
The apartment is very cozy, safe, clean, and has all the commodities you need to be at home even if you are away from it. The area is quiet and well kept. It’s located in a typical Lisbon bairro and since I’ve always lived on the periphery of town it was very cool to be in central Lisbon. Everything you need is right around the corner, from supermarkets to laundromats, bars, cafés, the subway and easy access to all great places and point of interest in Lisbon...even if I stayed there right in the middle of lockdown here in Portugal, it was a very rewarding experience and an absolute great choice (it was also my first experience with airbnb).
For all this, I cannot recommend this charmed little flat enough and Lourenço as a host. Even if it is geared for shorter stays, I felt absolutely at home and comfortable there. If you are a couple and tourists, it’s an absolute deal and a safe choice. Plus, Lourenço will help you out to sort your visit (and there is a very cute and sympathetic collection of books there to help you get in the Lisbon mood).
I couldn’t have wished for a better experience.
