When we arrived at the airport, we had a friendly driver waiting for us who drove us to the apartment and back to the airport when we left. Joana was waiting for us and the apartment was in every way as beautiful and functional as promised. The location was perfect and the elevator in the building was great as we had couple of seniors travelling with us as well as two small kids.
The beds were really comfortable and everything was clean. There was enough hot water to take showers and every home appliance worked like a charm.
The sounds from the streets were a bit loud because of the one-layered window glass (typical to old buildings), but we were prepared for this and had no trouble at all sleeping. Neighborhood has many restaurants, bakeries, souvenier shops and other shops plus grocery stores in 1-5 min walking distance. No nightclubs right next to it so the street noises are mainly people talking and lisbon trams + cars. Metro station is about 3 min walking
distance and gets you quickly and easily close to many sights like shopping malls, oceanarium, parks, the zoo etc.
There were heaters in every bedroom and after a while the rooms were warm and comfy (+15 celsius outside when we arrived in april and it had been cold / rainy for a week before that). In couple of days we had the pleasure of enjoying sunshine and +25 celsius weather.
We had a great time and we can recommend this apartment for families as well as older people. Joana was easy to get hold of and took good care of us.
Thank you.
