The location of the apartment is unbeatable. You are within walking distance to everything in downtown, and close to all the metro, train, and bus stations you'd need to get to Sintra for a day trip. We were able to come back to the apartment for short breaks whenever we were tired during the day. We were checked-in by Rita's mom, who had left fruit, egg tarts (amazing), and a bottle of wine for us. The apartment itself is as advertised in the pictures, no surprises. Rita and Helder were very responsive before and throughout our stay. When Helder wasn't able to meet us at check-in, he made sure to come by later that night to introduce himself and made sure we had everything we needed. The only thing you should be aware of is the level of noise (you're on a busy street with lots of restaurants and music), but the sound proofing in the apartment is great. Overall we had a great experience and highly recommend this place!
