Communication leading up to our stay was prompt and clear.
We did not meet Antonio. We were welcomed by one of his staff. She was very friendly and, although she did not speak much English, she did her best to show us around the apartment.
The apartment is wonderful, tastefully decorated with reclaimed wood and ornaments. The kitchen is equipped with the essentials. Towels were provided. There is a supermarket less than a 10 minute walk away to buy your toiletries and ingredients. The sun terrace is a wonderful bonus. It was great being able to relax in the hammock. You may be asked to water the aloe Vera plants on the terrace or someone will visit to do it. It's only a small job and is quite relaxing.
The washing machine was in the next building and is communal with the other apartments. You'll need to bring/buy your own detergent and you can't wash at night time.
The location is convenient. ..about 5 minutes from Avenida station on the blue line. Bring your walking shoes though. ...there's a big steep incline to the apartment! Visiting Lisbon is definitely a workout for the legs.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this apartment and would recommend it.
Thank you Antonio and team.
