Maria and Gil are amazing hosts. Gil welcomed us with fresh pasteis de nata, fruits and porto. They even supplied a crib for our 8-month-old, which was very appreciated. Throughout our stay, Maria was very quick to respond to our emails. She even mailed us our SD card we forgot when we left. We could not have asked for more.

The apartment is well located, close to everything, but not it's not too noisy at night. We walked to major sights from the flat (we never had to take the public transport). Many great traditional restaurants are a stone-throw away (some are highlighted in Maria's book for guests).

The apartment was big enough for the 3 of us, clean and had all the appliances that were necessary. The stairs leading to the apartment are a bit narrow and steep to carry a stroller in and out, but we managed to do it.

Overall, we highly recommend this apartment.
