We stayed at Elsa and Rui's for two nights before moving on for a wedding in Sesimbra. The location of the flat was perfect - really close (within walking distance of) to the castle, the city centre and metro station, and in a quiet neighbourhood with lots of quirky narrow streets, cafes, restaurants and shops.

We were very warmly welcomed at the airport by Carlos (even after our very last-minute planning) who, because we arrived before check-in time, drove us to the apartment via a lovely viewpoint, pointing out the sights and helping us to get our bearings of the city. We instantly felt very welcome after a long trip.

The flat had everything we needed, and it was really nice to be able to sit outside on the terrace with coffee/breakfast - very private despite there being a couple of other flats opening onto the terrace.

The pocket wifi was especially useful, enabling us to explore the city more easily.

While the flat is very small it has everything a couple needs for a city break, but we did find that the small bedroom really held the heat and got rather stuffy at night.

Overall we had a really wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.
