This was our first stay in an Air B&B as a family. It was an extended stay (9 nights), and it was fantastic! It surpassed our expectations. Everything previous guests have written about the view, incredible location and exceptional treatment by the host, Alexandre, is absolutely accurate. You’re very centrally located and the views from both bedrooms and the two living room balconies is amazing. An incredible breeze passes through the entire flat, thanks in part for being a sixth-floor place. We are from Miami and thought Alex was kidding when he said we wouldn’t need to use the air conditioning during our stay. We were dead wrong. We did not use it one time…in late June! Alex goes out of his way to make his guests feel at home, like family. From his guidebook on sites go see and places to eat online, to taking the time to meet us upon arrival and explain how everything works, to leaving us strawberries and wine and bread and other essentials so we didn’t have to start the vacation with a trip to the grocery store, to checking in on us a day after the vacation started and offering to do more to make our stay memorable, he goes above and beyond. The flat has everything you need. This place has character and gives you a true Portugal experience, much more than a swanky hotel would. It’s also spacious, which makes it a nice retreat to come back to after a long day of sightseeing. The fact that it overlooks the Carmo Convent (archeological ruins of a church) is an added bonus. You’re very close to the metro, the train station, the water and main square, everything. Most things are just a short walk away. Having an elevator for a sixth floor is also a bonus. Anyhow, this is well worth the booking. Enjoy!
