The location was fantastic. It’s right in the centre of the historical part of the city and you have a clear view of the No. 28 Tram right outside your balcony. It’s right next to the São Vicente de Fora, the flea market and National Pantheon. It honestly felt like it’s stuck in time (in every good way possible). The interior is very cosy and intimate and it’s definitely perfect for a short stay. It’s a perfect place for couples and a small group of friends.
The hosts themselves are very lovely and surprised us with wine to end the trip on a good note. They respond very quickly. The check-in was super-duper easy. Any hiccups you might face, they have it all covered in their guest handbook! (honestly very impressive)
I think this listing may be managed by a third party (I may be wrong). If you want a swift and stress-free trip from the airport, you can arrange for somebody to pick you up and help you with your check-in from getting the keys, giving an apartment tour to appliance checks. It’s a little bit pricier than your average uber ride, but the service was great.
I can’t fault Elsa and Rui for this but the only thing I would say is that the cleaning company could do a little better (especially in the second bedroom area).
