We spent 4 beautiful days in Pedro house. The apartment is located in a residential area of Lisbon, 5 minutes walking by Train Station to City Center and Sintra; 40 minutes by bus to Cascais and Praia de Carcavelos. Airport is 15 minutes by car, or 60 minutes by subway red and green+train. The first solution price is approximatively 15 euros + 1,80 the luggage; the second solution price is 3 euros.
We landed at Lisbon Airport from Rome Ciampino before the scheduled time and chose to take the less expensive solution, reaching the Apartment by subway + train.
If you would like to take the subway+ train, please consider 50-70 mins by Airport when you communicate the check in time to the Host.
In fact, we had to postpone our check in because we have lost our train. In spite of everything, Pedro's mother Fatima gave welcome to us, she was very kind and warm. In her good english she gave us many suggestions about the points of interests to visit, she explained us Amadora and suggested us where to buy something for having dinner or breakfast. She told about her life, passion, some habits of Amadora's people.
The apartment is perfect for 2 or 4 people, it is cozy and cute. It has a well furnished kitchen, two bedrooms and one little bathroom with shower. Apartment is well cleaned.
Beds are comfortable and the area is quiet. On saturday night probably you will hear some voices, but it is normal: people spend their saturday night going out.
About the Area, it is very well furnished: there is a Continente shop, a fishmarket, a discount shop (Minipreco) and many cosmetic and clothes shops, and little restaurant too. Fatima suggested A Queda (Waterfall) for having lunch or dinner and we appreciated its cuisine. We discovered another restaurant that was very characteristic for its portuguese/fusion cuisine; it's name is Happy and we suggest you, if you want to enjoy a particular dinner in a comfortable context.
In short, we had a great time in Pedro's Home. It was our good starting point for visiting Lisboa City Center, Oceanarium, Praia de Carcavelos and for discovery the Amadora City. We loved the host and we loved Fatima. We definitely would to come back and the only thing that left is to say thank you to them. Ciao Pedro e Fatima, un abbraccio da Roma!
