We had an amazing stay at Maria’s apartment. The flat is beautiful, very clean, centrally located, and full of thoughtful touches and amenities. We were just a few steps from great bars, restaurants, grocery and drug stores and the famous “Manteigaria” bakery where we ate the best pastries in town. The flat is also conveniently close to the Chiado subway station.
Maria was easy to communicate with and booking and check-in were a breeze. On the first day she was even checking in with us during the day to see if everything was o.k., which we thought was very thoughtful.
Two things were especially handy on the apartment; the AC and the double insulated windows. Once we got in and closed the windows, we couldn’t hear any noise from the street and with the scorching heat at the peak of the summer, the AC saved us.
The only thing people need to be prepared/aware for is to climb up the three flights of stairs with their heavy luggage once they get there. Maria warned us about it, and since we are in a relatively good shape it wasn’t an issue, but I can see that being challenging for older folks and/or people with disabilities.
Otherwise, this flat was lovely and better than advertised, and Maria was a great host.
