LISBON NEST

MODERN COMFORT IN HISTORICAL, TRADITIONAL AREA OF MAGICAL LISBON

The local food and culture recommendations in the Lisbon Nest’s guest guidebook are amazing.

I never would have found world class restaurant Estamine and many others in the area -- without their book of prime suggestions.

Considering that this nearly 400 SF home is often priced below the cost of a barely more than 100 SF hotel room -- I would say book it every chance you get.

Bedding is super comfy.

They have thought of everything -- including a trio of space heaters for those chilly spring nights on the highest windswept hill of beautiful Lisboa.

One other thing to note, the apartment is in an old, traditional building -- but everything is super modern and updated inside.

Expect warm water in the shower and appliances that are almost brand new.

The Lisbon Nest vacation apartment is naturally cooled.

I have not stayed there in June, July or August -- so they may want to put air conditioning on the list of upgrades.

It is up 15 steps in a super traditional old Lisbon neighborhood apartment complex.

It's not a knock, just a head's up that the unit is not at all suitable for people with disabilities. 

And it may not be ideal for those that have trouble doing steps -- 

though all of Lisbon is hilly and has alleys that become steep staircases, so if you're up for the city, you should do fine with Lisbon Nest.

This was my second time staying a week at Lisbon Nest and the third time at a Nest property in the perfect Lisbon neighborhood of Graca.

Valeria is a wonderful point person. 

She keeps in touch via text/whatsapp, meets you the second you leave your rideshare and saves your neck when you misplace the key.

The property is big enough to live in year round.

It has everything including a big kitchen with dishwasher and clothes washer.

Everything is clean and spotless.

I slept like a baby. 

You can hear the neighbors just a tiny bit, but it's a very quiet property for an increasingly loud and bustling city.

HOTEL VERITE NEW YORK -- PART 7

THE PERFECT BOUTIQUE HOTEL FOR UNION SQUARE, THE FLATIRON DISTRICT AND BEYOND

We can’t think of a better place to escape cookie cutter chain hotel boredom.

Verite even has one room designed for wheelchair users, with a roll-in shower.

The zen-like lobby is up a few steps from the main entrance, but there is a level ground entrance off Broadwa for wheelchair users.

Verite, we’re sorry we ever doubted you.

We’ll recommend you to all our friends and be back to stay in the spring.

HOTEL VERITE NEW YORK -- PART 6

THE PERFECT BOUTIQUE HOTEL FOR UNION SQUARE, THE FLATIRON DISTRICT AND BEYOND

The bathroom was about a third the size of the entire guest room.

That allowed for a very luxurious shower with endless warm water and no leaks.

The room had a little desk that was perfect for finishing the day’s work tasks and thumbing through our Ipad to see if we could catch a jazz show at the Vanguard.

The ordered wakeup calls were right on time.

Back stowage was safe and secure.

The bed was super comfy.

HOTEL VERITE NEW YORK -- PART 5

THE PERFECT BOUTIQUE HOTEL FOR UNION SQUARE, THE FLATIRON DISTRICT AND BEYOND

There is a delightful skylight that more than makes up for a window.

A remote by the bed controlled the skylight – so no light waking you up when you wanted blackout darkness.

The shut skylight made this the quietest room we’ve ever had in New York.

We’ve spent small fortunes and slept in every neighborhood in town – nothing was as quiet as Verite.

The subway rumbles right below, but it’s actually kind of pleasant in an urban sort of way.

We never heard a fellow guest or a blaring siren from outside.
