What a wonderful stay at a fantastic apartment. We felt extremely safe as there is keycode entry for the two doors on entry to the building, lift access and the apartment itself has an extremely secure lock on it.
All the furniture, fittings and contents have a 5-Star expensive luxurious feel about them. The small touches were wonderfully personal (we had our 4 yr old daughter with us and she was kindly left a huge lollipop in the welcome pack). Everything we needed (and more) was thought of and available in the apartment.
The view from the balcony is excellent with the Ponte 25 de Abril bridge, the Cristo Rei and the Tagus river as the skyline.
The transport links are excellent and there are bus and tram stops literally on your doorstep and the Santos train station just 6 mins walk away - which takes you to Cascais.
We regularly walked to the downtown Baixa/Chiado which is around 20 mins walking. The location is truly excellent, which means we were close enough, but also the apartment is quiet and peaceful.
Heim cafe is also with 4mins walk which offers the most excellent breakfast we have ever had and we ended up going there every morning.
I tried very hard to think of any suggestions for improvement but have come up with nothing, which indicates what a wonderful stay we had.
Thank you Edite and Inês for your hospitality and allowing us to stay in your beautiful apartment.
