Fernanda has justifiably great reviews.
Firstly she is incredibly welcoming and went out of her way in terms of flexibility (I didn't know what time I was arriving or leaving until last minute). I was ill during my stay & she (plus some of the other lodgers in the apartment) were very kind - Fernanda brought me breakfast in bed when I was ill which was very thoughtful esp as I was on my own.
Secondly the room itself is great - spacious with twin beds, a big ensuite bathroom and small balcony. It was cleaned a couple of times during my stay.
Thirdly the apartment is in a fantastic location. It was one minute from my language classes, next to the famous Santino's gelato place and above a fantastic fruit/veg/juice shop & cafe. Plus it is a 2 minute walk from the bus & train station (trains leave to Lisbon every 10 mins & take half an hour). Ideal location.
Highly recommended.
