Maria’s place was good.
The area is more close to Rato then Principe Real. The parking garage is near by, but with two kids under two, luggage and a stroller it wasn’t the easiest to get to the apartment. The sidewalks are not made for strollers and the street doesn’t allow you to park to drop off luggage (you can but you will block the entire traffic if you do that). I don’t recommend the place if you have very young children. The apartment is nice, and location is good if you want to walk around Lisbon. It is the perfect location for that, but with young children it is not convenient. The parking garage is not as close as you would hope, when you have children tired after a day, and having to walk up hill with a stroller and grocery bags is not the easiest. Having said that, it is great location if you don’t have children and want to walk around Lisbon, there is tons of places to eat around there and grocery stores very close.
The place was clean, and the check in and check out process were very easy. The team was very responsive.
I highly recommend this place if you have older children (that can walk on their own) and don’t need strollers. It’s a perfect location for walking around the city, public transportation and restaurants. We will definitely stay here (once our children are much older).
