I have nothing but glowing praise for this apartment and the entire management of the property.
From the beginning, Martin communicated better than any host I have ever dealt with - it was somewhat surprising! Once he connected me with Catarina...she was just as communicative & attentive. I was /and still am SO impressed with their professionalism .....and all of that before I have even commented on the apartment.
The apartment far exceeded my expectations. What I didn't realize from the listing is that it is the corner of the building - so you have incredible natural light in all of the bedrooms, and doors with access to balconies in all of the bedrooms...offering wonderful views both day & night. The insulated doors do an incredible job of blocking out the city sounds - although I enjoyed opening them up to hear the life of Lisbon below. The living room, dining room and kitchen spaces are all larger than any I have seen in the area - and really would be comfortable for a large family. (We were only 3 on this trip, but I could easily have had my family of 6 in this apartment.) For a longer visit - it is so nice to have a washer & dryer (not a small combo machine) to be able to pack lighter, and keep things clean. Plus this kitchen.....if you want to buy groceries and save a bit to splurge on dinners ...you can do so very comfortably. It has everything you would need to cook a real meal.
Those are all of the thoughtful /practical details -
Now for where Martin's expertise really shines ....
This apartment is thoughtfully decorated and welcoming. It is clearly well maintained, and the building, as a whole, seems to be in very good condition.
The added value of having the lovely Catarina greet us at the apartment to review all of the details - just made the entire experience more personalized and positive.
Added bonus....that I didn't even realize when I booked.....this also happens to be right next to one of my favorite vintage shops in Lisbon. Whether you like to shop vintage, or not - A Outra Face da Lua - is a feast for the eyes & worth a visit. Enjoy your stay!
