“The communication went a bit odd at a certain point. Vincent said he was abroad, announcing he just might turn up out of the blue which is a bit scarry travelling alone as a woman I have to say.”

About our home
Located in the historical center of Lisbon, our 75 sqm, sunny, second floor apartment sits in a traditional and well kept building.
It has been completely renovated and refurbished in January 2018, and decorated with an eye for detail.
It comprises a lobby, a spacious and always sunny living-room/dining area.
There are 2 bedrooms with double beds, and a convertible sofa bed in the living-room that sleeps 2 guests.
There is also a small reading room that we did not include in the description as it is quite small. There is a convertible sofa bed in this one that sleeps one (can come in handy for a kid or for friends who doesn't want to share a bed).
The kitchen is fully equipped : Large fridge/freezer, stove, microwave, dishwasher, coffee machine, boiler, toaster and all the kitchen ware needed to cook a great meal for everybody.
The bathroom has a large shower and a constant supply of hot water. Comes in handy for a group of friends or a big family!
Fast WiFi, cable television and laundry/ironing facilities.
There is a washing machine and a dryer you can use.
Bed linen and towels are provided.
We are a French/Australian family and love to spend time here whenever we can, and we designed and equipped this apartment as our own. We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do!
Please note that a 40 euros cleaning fees will be charged upon arrival (our apartment will be professionally cleaned after your departure).

Vincent's reviews
As a host (4) 
“We had a great mini break at Vincent’s apartment, the location was perfect, right in the heart of Lisbon with some nice spots to eat and drink on the doorstep. We were super comfortable and had some great nights sleep which is always so important. We loved it so much we’re already wondering when we can stay again. Thanks so much for having us!”
“We'd a lovely stay at Vincent's house. It's really cozy, traditional and well furnished with comfortable beds and a really nice living room! Thanks again. Barbara and Leonardo”
“Thank you Vincent (aka Charles!) for a wonderful stay in Lisbon. The apartment is located in one of the best areas of the city - we did a quick search for restaurants and there were at least 10 with fantastic reviews within about 100m! The apartment is up a wonderful traditional staircase in an old building - it's bright and airy and has everything you need. Very comfortable bed :) We were in regular communication with Charles and he gave us lots of help. We are definitely coming back!! Kath & Paul”
More about us
-
We are a professional couple with a baby. One more will arrive in January 2019.
We are currently living in Bondi Beach, Australia.
As my parents will be visiting us from France, starting in mid January 2019, we are looking for a 1 bedroom apartment for them to stay, ideally located in Bondi Beach as well. The Byron Bay area would be great as well, as they are planning to spend some time there.
They are both retired. My mother is a doctor, and my father was running his own business.
We are open to non-simultaneous swaps or points swaps, to be used either by my parents (2 guests) or ourselves (family of 4), as we enjoy exploring the world. -
Amellia is Australian and I am French. We live between France, Australia and Portugal. Amelia is a lawyer and works for the Australian government. I am self-employed and run my own business.

We like to feel like locals when we travel, so swapping homes just sounds like a great idea.
We are very respectful and treat other people's home like ourselves, which is with great care.
We have a cool and cosy one bedroom flat in Paris, located in one of the most exciting neighbourhood of the capital, and would love to welcome you there!

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
The Santos o Velho / Madragoa neighboorhood is located in Lisbon historical center and is close to major tourist attractions.
To help you picture it, it's 50 meters from the French Embassy and a short stroll for the Parliament (worth a visit!).
The Museum of Arte Antiga is also around, and we recommend it's beautiful garden that offers an amazing view of the river (best kept secret : you don't have to pay the entry of the museum to enjoy it, and you can go there and enjoy a coffee while reading your favourite magazine or improving your Portuguese with Duolingo).
It's a hip and pleasant part of Lisbon, lively and full of cool restaurants and bars, but not overwhelmed with tourists.
Madonna is our new neighbour (she has just moved in a palace) and she is the talk of the town!
The famous Bairro Alto and it's nocturnal life are only a 10 minute walk, Principe Real is a 15 minute walk.
You can catch the trams 28 and 25 down our street.
The Tagus river is a 15 minute walk.
