This place was everything we wanted and more! The location is perfect - right in the heart of everything. Great food and entertainment wherever you turn. We noticed a lot of rentals were walk ups, and we knew we would arrive with a decent amount of luggage, so the elevator was a plus. Additionally, we all like to sleep in a cooler temperature, so the air conditioning was a great amenity to have available. We were surprised to see there was security at the front entrance, but certainly happy about that too.
Upon entering, we were greeted with a beautiful bottle of wine, some famous portuguese cakes, pate, and other little treats! That was an amazing touch.
The place was immaculate. Well equipped with everything we needed. Beds were super comfortable and towels felt like we were at a 5 star hotel - plush and presented beautifully.
Wifi of course worked fine, and was a great way to communicate with Catarina, who is one of the best hosts I've encountered thus far.
There was a tiny bit of noice in the wee hours (because the location is soooo good) but I did have ear plugs with me and had no problem sleeping.
I came home refreshed and happy and I am so looking forward to a return trip to this beautiful airbnb.
Thanks for everything Catarina, and see you soon, I hope!
