This apartment is exactly what it looks like in the pictures, extremely spacious, beautifully decorated and wonderfully relaxing. You really feel like Mauro and Sara have gone the extra mile to make the place feel like home, it is well equipped and as other guests have mentioned the treats were a lovely welcome to Lisbon too! Mauro was very responsive to any queries I had, which were few as their guide to the apartment and local area is extremely detailed. If you want to travel into the city, you can order an Uber with ease, the journey takes about 20 mins. If travelling via public transport (which I also did) this does take quite a bit longer of course but the nearest bus stop is a minute walk from the apartment which is convenient. This was my first time as a female solo traveller and very safe both within the apartment and Portela in general - I would highly recommend!
