We stayed 9 days in Lisbon. Mafalda’s place was our home away from home. It was exceptionally clean and housekeeping was offered once while we were there. We are a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) with the youngest being 6 years old. The walk to timeout market was doable and the neighborhood was less touristy. We used the swimming pool and gym - both were nice. The only downside was communication: I reached out to Mafalda about transportation options to Sintra. While she did respond in a timely manner, she didn’t quite answer my questions and then stopped responding all together. We are American, so it could have been a translation issue. Secondly, we were unfamiliar with the appliances in the apartment, and again, it felt like communication was a barrier. The appliances were in Portuguese, so we had to use a translation service to manage. Lastly, the blinds broke while we were there, but it wasn’t a big deal, we just closed the curtains and everything was fine. Overall it was a pleasant stay, and although communication was an issue for us, Mafalda and her sister seemed pleasant in responding. We would recommend.
