We really enjoyed our stay at Mariana’s place!
The home was beautifully decorated, fully equipped as described and very clean. The view was also very nice. Mariana also kindly provided us with a bottle of wine and delicious tarts upon arrival :) Coffee and tea were available in the kitchen as well. Communication and check in instructions were all very very good and clear (lock was via wifi / smart lock so no key was needed to check in even though Mariana provided a physical key as well). Our power went out during the stay because we had too many things on (AC and laundry) but Mariana promptly answered and even came and fixed it for us while we were out.
We were a family of 3 with an 11 months old baby. Mariana was kind to set up the baby portable crib for us and even provided a cute baby package of baby lotion, soap and baby shampoo/body wash!! She also set up a little baby tub so we were able to bathe the baby easily :) There are also Portugal books and guides which were nice for us as first timers in Portugal.
Location was also great, just a couple of min walk to streets full of restaurants, small supermarkets and cafes, super close to Green Street full of little restaurants. Tram 28 bus stop is also right outside :D 10-15 min walk to Time Out, train station, pink street.
Couple of reminders:
- It was a cozy little apartment so it was a bit tight with the baby though very manageable. It was slightly difficult coming up the 3 set of narrow stairs with the stroller, car seat and our bags, we just made a couple of trips which is fine.
- I believe a baby highchair was also in the listing but we didn’t really eat at home that much so didn’t end up asking for it.
- Cars can’t go right to the door but drop off at Seventh Coffee Brunch as suggested by Mariana was a very short walk (just had a big steep hill but that’s everywhere in this area haha)
- Just remember to bring out the physical key Mariana provided in case the power went out or if you are out of data to open the door just in case.
Overall it was a great stay!!! We would definitely come back and would recommend to anyone!
Thank you again Mariana!
