We are a family with small children and we have spent a whole week at José Inácio’s place. It was a wonderful stay. The apartment is well-maintained and has all the necessary equipment to lead a normal family life. It even has baby chairs and utensils, which is nice when you travel with kids. The huge terrace is a definite highlight and for those visiting during the warm season is a great place to unwind in the evening or lounge in the morning.
The apartment is located in a quiet, residential area with a local bakery just a block away and a supermarket 7 minutes away from the apartment. Pro tip, go for a breakfast at the bakery, you will see all the local characters in one place, it's a really friendly place and they carry some decent buns. Alameda station is 4 blocks away (5 min walk) and from there you can easily get anywhere -- to the airport with the red subway line, to the old town with the green subway line, to other neighborhoods with a bus.
Filipa was super responsive and provided tons of detailed information before we arrived and her father, who met us on arrival provided more practical tips and hands on advice on how to settle into the apartment. So all in all, it was a great stay!
