The apartment was really lovely,so bright with lots of natural light. Both the apartment and general building have been renovated to excellent standard and the view from the balcony was relaxing and quiet, it would have been a nice West facing spot to enjoy an early evening drink but unfortunately the weather wasn't so good. The shower was fantastic, good water pressure and very spacious. Bed was very comfortable with nice linen and very clean. Everything you need in the kitchen area to prepare food although we just used it for breakfast as lots of great cafes in the area. Lapa is the main metro stop but we also used Fara Guimares which was was great for some late night shopping at El Cortes inglese. Check in was good with a call from lady to let me know she was on her way. This was my first Airbnb experience which I was very happy with. I hope future guests respect and enjoy this lovely apartment. Thank you:)
