Ana Rita is an amazing host! She went out of her way to provide a warm welcome for our family, spent more time than necessary showing us around the apartment, and was quick to respond when we had questions. Her apartment is wonderful — open, airy, with lots of sunlight and a cozy at-home feel — just like at Grandma Maite’s :) You’ll find pretty much everything you need in the numerous drawers and shelves to feel right at home, which comes especially handy when cooking meals…and you just need that vegetable peeler to make a killer salad. The two bathrooms are a game changer, as anyone who uses bathrooms will tell you. And while parking is not guaranteed for those who have a car, we had no issues finding a spot in the lot facing the apartment, or on one of the side streets. As for the location, it’s super close to the Mercado de Campo de Ourique, lots of cafes and restaurants, Jardim da Parada park, Amoreiras mall, and pretty much every other place in the neighborhood (all documented in handy guide that Ana Rita put together) — with almost no hills to climb, which is unique for Lisbon. In other words, it’s a great place for families with kids who don’t necessarily want to be in super touristy and noisy areas like Bairro Alto, but still want to be within striking distance of the action. I highly highly recommend, and would easily stay here again.
