Maria's place was very nice, clean and modern. The apartment looks just as it does in the photos on airbnb. The apartment was in an awesome location very close to public transportation and tourists.
It was cold in Portugal when we arrived but each room had a space heater which kept the place toasty warm and comfortable. There was cold water readily available in the fridge for us to drink.
When I arrived there was a misunderstanding with obtaining access to the apartment. Maria stated she would leave the key for us in a specific location and we assumed this meant we could arrive at any time that was convenient. So we decided to go sightseeing first & return to the apartment late at night. However, when we arrived we were surprised that there was another door we needed to gain access through, which locks at 9 p.m., and prohibited us from retrieving the key from the said location. This information was not relayed to us since Maria assumed we would be there earlier. Simple communication error due two both parties not being detailed enough. Maria sent someone over quickly to let us in, so the problem was resolved immediately.
I would definitely recommend this place to others. You will notbe disappointed. I have nothing negative to say about the place or Maria. Both were lovely.
