My husband and I spent three weeks at Maria’apartment. Her sister was waiting for us and, since our flight was delayed, kindly provided us with basic necessities. The apartment is large and very clean. The rooms that give onto the avenida are a bit noisy, while the room and the bathroom with shower overlooking the inner courtyard are small. The other bathroom, with bathtub, is large and fully usable. The kitchen has no oven (microwave only) and is equipped with utensils and pans, the fridge and the washing machine do their job very well. The noise of the planes is not continuous; it depends on the direction of the wind and is bearable. The points in favor are the proximity to the airport (15 min by car), the metro station practically on the doorstep by the house building, the supermarket in the shopping center on the other side of the square from the apartment, a commercial area that starts from the square and goes up to the Mercado de Alvalade.The apartment is located in a quiet and safe area. Portugal and its people are fantastic.We hope to return soon.
