Ana Rita is an amazing host and her place is super cozy. I stayed long term (over 3 months) and found the neighborhood very family friendly and with everything you need within walking distance like cafes, bakeries, groceries, butcher, etc. The Benfica market has fresh produce, fish and meat and it just around the corner from the apartment (Wed- Sat). There’s a huge mall just a 10 minute bus ride away that rivals any huge mall in the USA with movie theaters and bowling alley not to mention the huge food court. If you want to go to the center of town to do touristy things there are several buses in front of the building that you can take and be there in 35 minutes. The wifi in the apartment is super fast and reliable as I worked most days from home. The beds are very comfortable and the water pressure and hot water were excellent. The cleaning crew is amazing and very friendly. I cooked a lot and the kitchen has everything you need with modern amenities. The main table is extendable so you can fit 6-8 comfortably in case you have family/friends over for a meal. The combo washer and dryer work really well. My favorite part was sitting in the enclosed balcony reading and looking at the rooftop views. Despite the main bedroom facing the Main Street, it is very quiet as it has double pane windows. I can’t say enough about how much I loved my stay at Ana Rita’s.
