Where to stay in Lisbon before leaving for home - airport or Lisbon

After two weeks planned in Portugal and Madeira, we'll be flying back from Madeira to Lisbon the night before leaving for home. We should arrive at LIS early afternoon, so looking for perhaps a non-hotel stay the last night to grab a good dinner, maybe a stroll, etc. We're not opposed to an airport hotel, but would prefer not to. Is it realistic to get another Airbnb (or whatever in central Lisbon or another neighborhood with the need to be at the airport by 8:30 or 9 am the next day? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance for your help. Terry.

We did the same thing, flying back from Madeira the day before. In our case, we just stayed at an airport hotel that was walking distance from the airport. Dropped off our luggage, then just walked 5 minutes back to the airport and took the metro into town. I didn't want to think about getting to the airport in the morning or bringing my luggage on the metro, into town and then back to the airport. Even with carry-on, I prefer to be luggage free when possible.

Gail that’s a great suggestion. Do you remember which hotel that was?

The two hotels that are close are Star Inn Lisbon Airport and Melia Lisboa Aeroporto. They look more expensive than they were 2 years ago.
