Elsa made us feel really welcome from the moment we made the booking, sending us information about Lisbon and directions to the apartment, and making sure that once we had arrived we had everything that we needed. Elsa had also left us something to drink when we arrived, which was very welcome.

There was a travel cot available for the baby, and we felt really safe there even when coming back late at night. Before booking I'd been concerned that getting to the second floor might be difficult with a baby and a pram, but it was absolutely fine - we just folded up the pram and carried it up, which wasn't a problem at all.

The apartment looks exactly like it does in the photos, and the neighbourhood is really lovely. It's a lively street with a cafe downstairs where we went to get breakfast. If you want to experience the atmosphere you can leave the windows open as you sit in the lounge and hear locals chatting and kids playing, but if not the windows are fantastic and shut out all the noise, which was great at night with a young baby.

Big thumbs up - we would definitely stay here again.
