We, a group of six people - 2 couples and two teens, rented Diogo & Ricardo’s Frames property in Lisbon for a week Jun 28-July 4!

We booked the property (thanks to other reviews) sometime in April. Soon, Diogo & Ricardo were in touch us asking if we needed a pick up or any essentials stocked up and offered to arrange a pick up from airport if we needed.

Francisco @helmtour.com picked us up on time. Diogo met us at the property although it was late in the evening. After detailed info about the use of property and he offered to help anytime we needed assistance. The property is roomy, clean and secured.

Our initial plan was to visit Sintra / Cascais / Estoril / in and around Lisbon areas. After a brief conversation with Francisco when he picked us up- was a game changer! We availed his services to go to palaces at Almoral (Knight of Templar - boat ride!), Tomar monasteries, Bathalya, Fatima and Nazare. Second day we executed our Sintra / Cascais plan since we had already booked this one earlier. Third dat we did some shopping at Freeport on the other side of the river (Vasco da Gama bridge) and Arabida beach (a bit more warmer than the ones on the Lisbon side / Cascais). The spent a day and half visiting places around Lisbon and then final day spent within the districts. Our strategy turned out to be 100-150 Km radius around Lisbon, then just the outlier of Lisbon (all palaces approachable by car) and finally all walking/tram rides within Lisbon districts.

We were so glad that we picked the right property at right location with a few minutes walk to two metro stations - Rosio and Baixo-Chiado. The property is at a central location. Very friendly location and never felt insecure. Unbelievable, the entire downtown is walkable from Rosio square to the waterfront!

We headed out early and returned back late everyday until the last two days. Given our schedule of activities, the most convenient aspect of this property is that we have a small convenient store right opposite with well stocked essentials and a plenty of restaurants to choose from all day long until very late in the night! No matter when we come back the convenience of this place is awesome - food and convenience whatever / whenever we needed it. Although there were street noise now and then until late night…it was tolerable. On the day when mercury hit closer to high 80s-90 degrees Fahrenheit, felt a standing fan in each room would have amply provided us with a great sleep after tiresome walking / tours. Overall, a very pleasant stay. Thanks to Diogo & Ricardo for sharing the property and Francisco referral for our enjoyment in Lisbon - our very first visit to the great country who discovered many parts of the world! Yes, we will rent this place again..and visit Algarve regions as well during our next visit! Thanks.
