We arrived at Sergio's apartment having stayed in 2 incredibly good apartments and were somewhat underwhelmed, but now, as we have stayed in 2 more apartments, we wish we were back at Sergio's!
Sergio's apartment is, as the details state, a cute attic apartment, in a quiet area of town, close to public transport and with parking available. Shops and restaurants also surround the apartment.
It was a normal living area and we met some of the friendly neighbours, yet it was very quiet at night and we slept well. The shower was exceptional, the best we had in a long time and we were nice and warm (we could control the heating from outside of the apartment).
A lot was packed into a small space.
As keen cooks who have been travelling for a while, we found the kitchen rather short of utensils, but it didn't lack facilities ... hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher etc. were all there.
and ... we like to save the best till last, as everyone else has said, Sergio was great, he was so helpful and enthusiastic about his city and country .... and people ....
Without Sergio's suggestion, we wouldn't haven't heard live Fado .... we highly recommend it.
We also recommend the coach museum in Belem, despite initially being very sceptical about such an unusual sounding attraction.
All in all, a really excellent stay. Thanks Sergio:-)
