My recent stay at The White House was wonderful in every way. Ines and Antonio go out of their way to see that everything is ready and welcoming, from the welcome fruit, breads, jam and honey to the bottles of ice cold water and wine. I appreciated the thorough weekly cleaning during my long stay, especially the exquisite bed linens. The apartment is conveniently situated for easy access to all sorts of dining, shopping, and recreational activities. My friends and I loved being able to hop on a ferry for an impromptu lunch across the river and taking the train to many different beaches. The apartment has all sorts of print resources to help a new visitor learn more about Portugal in general and Lisbon in particular. Perhaps the best way to bring this city into your life is to wander neighborhoods and discover the beauty, excitement, and gentleness that this remarkable Lisbon has to offer. And there's no better place from which to do that than The White House. I hope to return soon!
