Our family trip to Portugal ended with 3 nights at Second House's apartment in Santa Catarina. The hosts kindly accommodated our uncertain arrival time since we were driving from a few days of relaxation in the Algarve and wanted to explore some towns on our return to Lisbon, and communication with them was consistently easy. The apartment was in the best location for walking to restaurants and shopping. Since we were traveling with our adult children, we wanted a place where everyone had space they needed for privacy and this apartment definitely lived up to our expectations. Even though it's on street level, we felt perfectly safe with the locked windows and were not disturbed by traffic or pedestrian noise. Next trip to Lisbon, we'll certainly try to stay here again.
