5 STARS all around!
My husband and I are "Digital nomads" and stayed in this apartment for a total of 6 weeks. When you have an extended stay - you surely do learn about all the quirks of an AirBnb, and we have to say that we were SO impressed by so many aspects of this apartment.
The Location: Close to the city centre, but tucked away on a quiet, local street which made the experience much more authentic. So many great cafes, and healthy restaurants in the area... no tourist traps here! Our only warning would be that the apartment is on the top floor (5th floor), so just be prepared to walk up some flights of stairs. However, this is Lisbon, the city of seven hills, so you should be prepared already for walking up and down!
The Apartment: Super clean + styled authentically to Lisbon. Beautiful wood beams, and wood floors. Kitchen and bathroom fully stocked. Linens on beds were fresh and comfortable. And, very well cleaned + kept. We have stayed in some AirBNBs that have a slight layer of "dirt" even when they look clean... but THIS apartment was very clean and sanitized... an important factor for us!
THE HOSTS: Check in with the hosts was easy... and they always responded quickly if we had even the smallest of questions. Gave great recommendations for the city. Had a bottle of wine waiting on our arrival... this small touch was so nice! They stocked the kitchen with beautiful one of a kind portugese ceramic plates + bowls (ask about this ceramic store... it's amazing!). We also loved that it is a family owned and operated apartment... so you get a special service. In Lisbon there are many "company" AirBnbs... but not here! We loved knowing that we were staying in a family home. Makes it feel more authentic and special.
Thank you Luis + Family for the hospitality! If ever back in Lisbon, we will stay here again!
