We really enjoyed our 4-day stay at Carla's stylish and comfortable apartment and couldn't get enough of the breathtaking view towards the Tagus River and bridge. She has easy- to- use rolldown shutters for the heat of the day/ the cool of night. We also appreciated that they blocked a lot of light in the bedroom at night. The heating was good as she has a brand new air-to air heat pump/air conditioner system. We were able to find parking on-site (easier at certain times) but ended up bringing our rental back early and using the city transportation, walking and Uber to get around. The location is near the Tapada das Necessidades (Park) which is beautiful with interesting gardens and buildings, and not too far from the Museo National de Arte Antigua full of amazing artwork and traded items from other countries. The Basilica da Estrela and its park are an easy walk also.
Carla gave us lots of ideas of places to go. Her english is quite good so it was easy, fun and relaxing to communicate with her. She made a special trip to ensure that we had laundry soap for the washer which was much appreciated.
