We had a family holiday in Lisbon, staying for a week at the Casa da Saudade apartment. Even before arrival, Carlos kindly offered to help plan our stay in the city. His communication was excellent, replying to messages the same evening with detailed answers to questions posed or advice sought. Upon arrival, Carlos showed us around the apartment, and provided information on the local area. A very nice touch was the bottle of wine, fruit, crackers, and home made marmalade left out in the kitchen for our stay. For the three of us staying there, the apartment was spacious and well equipped, and close to all amenities, including a pharmacy next door, supermarket just across the road, and several restaurants (of variable quality) in and around the square. Transport links such as metro and main line stations are within easy walking distance of the apartment. If you are planning to stay here with young children there are a couple of points to be aware of. There is some noise that can be heard at the front of the apartment facing the square late at night. In addition, the apartment above, which the host also lets out, has wooden floorboards meaning that you may hear any visitors staying there moving around. If this is at 3am in the morning you might appreciate it.
Carlos and his wife were excellent hosts, always willing to help where possible. Thank you for a pleasant stay.
