Anabela is a host that cares and takes her role very seriously! She made us at the apartment and gave us a very personal and extensive introduction. She continued to stay in regular contact during our stay. She is very personable and warm.
Likewise, the apartment is warm and personal. Unlike many Airbnb listings, this apartment is still regularly used by Anabela and her family. It was so nice to be in a place with so many personal touches and comforts. It made for a wonderful week and a very easy time. The kitchen was fully functional with everything you might need. There are beach chairs and umbrellas and even toys. The free and easy parking was very useful for us.
The apartment was very conveniently located too. We went into Lisbon nearly every day of our stay on the train. The train station is a 2 minute walk. We also went to the beach most days. It is a very lively (even crowded) place and great for kids too-- with very little waves. The coffee at the beach cafe was great. We are at the restaurant under the apartment and thought it was fine but over-priced. The restaurant behind the apartment was busy every night and we tried to get in, but couldn't! Make a reservation if you want to try it. I would say the only negative of the apartment is the noise from the highway if you want to have the worst does open (which we did.) There is a good amount of traffic in front of the apartment all day, but especially in the mornings and evenings. However, you cannot at all hear the traffic from the bedrooms and it was very quiet for sleeping.
