Filipa is the best host we have ever had. Her apartment is our first temporary "home" in Portugal (8 days) and we thoroughly enjoyed staying there: the view is amazing, the apartment is clean, bright, well equipped (air condition, washer/dryer, everything you need), extremely quiet, and very comfortable. Coming from California with jet lag, we slept very well on the large beds with the right amount of firmness, and the blackout curtains worked great. The location is unbeatable: only a few steps to shopping, dining, entertainment and all forms of transportation. We would give the place 6 stars if possible. we definitely want to return. In fact, we would love to book the last week of our Portugal scouting trip in the same apartment before flying back to California, but the dates we want are all taken. We will have to secure our stay in Filipa's apartment well in advance the next time we come to Portugal.
