I can't really say any more great things about Sandra and Joao's apartment than Ann and Andrew's review in May. Perfect and exactly as they described. Joao greeted us upon arrival, helped us carry our heavy bags up to the loveliest apartment that felt much larger than it looks in photo's. From the multi language guide book they have written and personalized explanations of where to go and do, to parking for our rental car, a lovely snack with fruit, cookies, spreads,cheese, jams and cold beer in the fridge. Very comfortable beds, fluffy towels, fully outfitted kitchen like I've never seen in a rental with coffees, and basic condiments for cooking... Tram 28 stop at the end of their street, a short walk to Zapata traditional Portuguese family run seafood restaurant (very good), close to train to Belem and Cascais for day trip (we drove it in 15 min.) new sound proof windows out to a lovely joined balcony off the bedrooms that overlook the street below. Decorated beautifully that you think you just walked into a magazine photo spread. Live like a local in their perfect apartment. My only complaint is that we couldn't stay longer than 3 days as it was our last stop in our 3 week holiday of Spain and Portugal and we had to fly home to Canada. I hope to someday return for a longer visit and stay with Sandra and Joao. A perfect end to a wonderful holiday. We saved the best for last! Thank you so much!
