My daughter, girlfriend and I spent one week in Maria's beautiful apartment and absolutely loved it. It is exactly as in the pictures, spotless, tastefully decorated, equipped with everything you need and on a great street, very well lit up at night and very safe. Both beds were extremely comfortable, linens of very good quality, more than enough towels for the three of us. The kitchen and bathroom are great. The location is amazing, on a great street with grocery and pastry shops, bars and restaurants nearby. We also had an amazing meal at Flor da Laranja, a cozy little Moroccan restaurant just down the street. Maria is the perfect host. She was there to greet us and offered great suggestions for restaurants, sights and shops in the area and even booked our taxi when we left. We also had a lovely typical Portuguese meal at Bota Alta just around the corner, also recommended by Maria. On a Sunday evening when most restaurants were closed, we had a very good meal at the little Crèperie just a few feet from the apartment. We highly recommend this apartment and would definitely love to stay there again on our next visit. We fell in love with Portugal and the warmth and friendliness of the people. Thank you so much for everything Maria !
