Our family of two adults and three teens aged15-19 stayed for a fortnight in Sara's place in July 2022. Sara was a wonderful host, constantly available to us during our stay. Sara allowed us check in early as we had a morning flight, she contacted me regularly to check if we needed anything during our stay and went to a lot of trouble to get us an extra fan as soon as we asked for it. We loved the apartment! It has beautiful original features, is spacious and thoughtfully equipped. The stairs are a good workout but definitely worth it for the air, light and views from the top floor - we were mesmerised by the bridge. We thoroughly enjoyed Alcantara area even more than we anticipated - the Doca area and LxFactory were wonderful amenities for us as tourists but there is a really local feel so you get a sense of everyday life as well. Access to the city is so easy by tram/bus/uber/bolt and affordable. We got tickets with 20euro credit from train station in the city early on and it got us around the city and out to Sintra with some credit left when we were leaving. Getting to the coast is easy too, we went to both Cascais and Costa de Capricia. Uber/Bolt was really affordable for Costa de Capricia and the beaches a bit further down are stunning. On the first day we went the driver just brought us to the main beach and it was very crowded, noisy but next time we went further down to Praia de Mata and just loved it. Stunning long stretch of beach, less crowded and with a lovely bar/restaurant with great facilities. We also did the train trip from Alcantara to Sintra which was really easy and very enjoyable. We would highly recommend this place and you are in very good hands with Sara. Thanks for a great holiday!
