We stayed with our two young children at Cristina’s for five nights and absolutely loved it. The apartment is in a brilliant part of Lisbon, walkable to all the sights but not too touristy or busy. There are beautiful shops and restaurants within 5 mins walk and a great little square which is a godsend for parents - you can relax and and have a drink while your children play safely in the park.
The apartment itself is decorated to boutique standard, spotless and the best equipped we’ve ever stayed in, with plenty of information and guide books for guests. Don’t be worried by lack of air con, if you do like the locals and keep the shutters closed during the day and the windows on ‘vent’ at night, you will stay cool.
But what made this stay special was Cristina herself, so attentive and responsive to messages, nothing is was too much trouble, no question too small and all handled with kindness and good humour. We had a tricky situation on check-out when my husband was delayed with the car hire company for hours and Cristina was so kind in letting us stay well past check-out while the cleaner was there. This meant that I didn’t have to drag the children and luggage out of the apartment. Having a host on your side like Cristina is PRICELESS, especially if you’re travelling with little ones. Highly recommend!
