We had a wonderful stay at Antonio’s apartment! Travelling with 3 adults and 2 small children, it was spacious, safe, comfortable, and entertaining for our 2 year old.
The apartment was spacious and comfortable, with a full kitchen, washer (no dryer, but a drying rack and clothesline out the window), plenty of toys and books, and a lovely window seat. My mom particularly enjoyed the soaking tub at the end of our long days sightseeing.
The weather was moderate (chilly/warm days) and most of the apartment was comfortable without needing the space heaters, except the front room. We packed light planning to do laundry, and the washer was convenient. We had trouble getting our clothes dry due to several drizzly days, but ended up bringing the drying rack to the front room to dry in the sun and with space heater on.
The kitchen was stocked with staples, and of course a play kitchen that our daughter loved!
The kids room was currently a bit different than the listing photos, with a toddler bed and a twin bed with a trundle. The play tent is no longer there which was a tiny disappointment as my daughter would have loved it, but there were plenty of toys and books to keep her entertained. There was also a pack n play provided for our infant, a high chair, and a kids chair (that my toddler promptly brought into the kitchen for her breakfasts).
The apartment was in a great central location with plenty to do within walking distance and close to several bus/metro lines. It was an absolutely wonderful spot for us to spend our days sightseeing, and felt so safe. There is a small store next door with bottled beverages so you don’t have to carry them from the grocery store. There’s a mini grocery a block away, and a bigger grocery just past the Rato station. There’s a couple cafes/restaurants on the block - we enjoyed KOB - and several more within a 10 minute walk. It’s also close to the Principe Real park and playground and botanical gardens.
