Our time was amazing and Catarina was a really great host. She was super flexible with both our arrival and departure time, which was so very helpful for us as we were traveling with children. The apartment was clean upon our arrival and had everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Catarina was quick to respond if we had any questions and her husband was there to welcome us and answer any questions we had. The apartment has so much character and is located in an excellent part of the city. Going uphill a little you are in Bairro Alto which is really fun for going out at night. Going downhill you are on Avenida da Liberdade with a lot of great stores and restaurants. You are within walking distance of many of the great tourist locations...the Arch, Santa Justa elevator, and many other cool spots! From the balcony you can see the São Jorge castle, and it is beautiful, especially at night! The kitchen is well-equipped answer were able to make a lot of our meals there. Our kids loved the spiral staircase up to the loft. We really loved staying at this apartment and would love to stay again one day!
