I had a wonderful stay at Maria's. Maria is a super host, very welcoming, attentive and always available to help. I also got to practice my Portuguese with her as she doesn't speak English, I enjoyed it very much. On the other hand, her grand daughter Ines is a fluent English speaker and is always available on phone to answer any queries and provide solutions where possible. I stayed in the double room with very comfortable beds, extra covers and a balcony for a few minutes of sunbathing lol. Internet was fast and reliable so I had no issues doing my work. The apartment is situated in a great location, literally 2 mins away from the Ameixoira metro station and close to supermarkets Continente and SPAR. You may not like the building from the outside but once you're inside, it won't matter. I recommend.
