Let’s start by saying I am the pickiest of the pickiest person. I don’t love leaving my home to stay somewhere else but this place made me want to move! This was our first trip to Portugal and with a 3 year old. After a long 18 hour journey from the West Coast we arrived to a private transfer with a car seat arranged by Susan and Team. The condo was not ready yet but Filipa met us in person and let us freshen up and leave our luggage while they finished up cleaning. A very nice touch as we were totally exhausted.
We realized quickly lugging our 2 suitcases and full sized stroller up to the top that that would be our workout for the day! From someone who lived in a 4 floor walk up for two years this is on another level. So please note, travel lightly! Trust me though, when you get to the top it is WORTH IT.
You are met with a lovely entry way and two bedrooms and a bath with a shower on your right. Walk through a nice sound proof door to the living room (a plus for a group who has children as they can separate the adults dinner party/wine and the kiddos). In the main room there is another bathroom with a bathtub and an additional bedroom. Walk through that door to a large kitchen with beautiful large dining table and chairs. Off the kitchen is a small den with a sofa and television with games, an Xbox and toys for a small child.
Throughout the condo are wonderful skylights with views of rooftops and the church steeple.
There is everything you need for a comfortable stay, soap, shampoo, hair dryer, laundry with detergent, coffee, milk, water (which you can drink from the tap, and use bottled for coffee making), Netflix, Amazon Alexa with music, a tablet with internet and a property guide which was used many times to know how to operate things, air conditioning, wonderful lighting, and room darkening shades. The beds were comfortable, very firm just the way we like! Sofa’s in the living room were super comfortable as well.
Location is LITERALLY in the middle of it all. You don’t have to walk far for anything! And in Lisbon, every street is a dream, with cobblestone and amazing facades with antique doors. This place will be perfect for your city getaway.
If you are comparing this to other properties just book this one, stop looking, because it won’t get better. Trust me, like I said above, I am the pickiest of the pickiest. You can’t go wrong with this one!
