Sandra Da Costa and her whole family were absolutely wonderful and made us feel completely welcome and at home. Her brother, Fernando collected us at the airport and gave us a wonderful whistle stop tour of central Lisbon. He then gave us a lovely tour of Belem and brought us to the famous "Pasteis de Belem" for their fantastic cakes. Sandra's Father - also Fernando - gave my son a lovely present of a football scarf after we had some great footballing discussions with him and her Mother sent some hot home made pastries to us for tea one day.

The apartment is exactly as seen in photos and described on Airbnb. It has absolutely everything one needs with extra bedding etc., just in case and plenty of nice new towels. It is light, bright and cosy and has a lovely homely feeling, and the equivalent of 3 double beds so plenty of sleeping alternatives. Everything is clean and new and very very comfortable. The little wine and pastry bar on the corner has freshly baked bread rolls and cakes every morning and a glass of wine is 60 cent !!! The small store next door has all the basics.

Belem is gorgeous ! I can't recommend it highly enough. Beautiful restaurants, historic sights and the coast all on your door step. Bus and tram also 2 minutes from the apartment although as a family of four it was cheaper for us to taxi in and out of central Lisbon at approx. 8 Euro per journey.

I highly recommend this apartment and honestly am very grateful to Sandra and her family for their wonderfully warm and kind welcome to my family. This apartment is a must if you wish to visit Lisbon.
