Right from the beginning, Helder's customer service was exemplary. He answered our inquiries extremely quickly. Was always there when we had a question and not only picked us up from the airport (we were traveling with 2 young, jet lagged children) but returned that afternoon with a fan when my husband had me too we he may need one, which by the way we didn't need it because the apartment never got hot during the day. Needless to say, Helder and his very lovely girlfriend made us feel extremely comfortable and welcome right from the beginning.

The apartment is extremely clean, new, fully equipped and extremely well designed. The beds were very comfortable and quite honestly Helder and his girlfriend thought of pretty much everything their guests would want. They even supplied us with a wooden crate of Portugal's best offerings - a bottle of great red wine, "pastel de nata" and a few other items.

The pictures don't do the apartment justice, it's even nicer in person.

The location of the apartment is slightly out of the main center, however, to get to the center it literally took 10 minutes on the metro. The metro station is virtually across the street. And you are in walking distance to everything from the apartment (supermarkets, cafes, bakeries).

Overall, if you want a fantastic apartment that is close to everything in a safe neighbourhood with extremely sweet hosts then stay here. We will definitely stay here when we come back!!!
