Marcia's apartment is amazing!! It's true to pic, clean, well organized, lots of parking space and very safe!! The weather was super HOT on the day of our arrival and Marcia was very kind and prompt to get us a fan when we request for one. We really appreciate the efficiency. The only problem we faced at the apartment was the tripping of electricity (quite a few times) and we were not able to figure out the cause of it.
The apartment is walking distance to the famous mouthwatering Portuguese egg tart- Pasteis de Belem (you wouldn't want to miss it!! We went twice!!) and a gorgeous Cathedral! (Be there early to beat the queue)
We didn't drive around as there was many reconstruction of roads, buildings and structures. We took their local tuk tuk (for experience) and taxi (which is very reasonably priced).
It was a shame for us that many of the places of interest that we would like to go is under reconstruction.
I strongly suggest to drive up to Sintra. The beach is gorgeous!! Without car, you really need to hire an uber or taxi to drive you there. Be aware that the beach is COLD and it's almost impossible to get any tan cos you'd be wrapping yourself warm. The view and waves took our breathe away!! We were glad not to have missed the beach and it's glorious sight!!
All in all, we had an amazing stay at Maria's apartment and experience a great adventure at Lisbon!!
