Ana Maria and Miguel's place felt like home from the start. It is a spacious apartment with an amazing view and huge windows that opened to let in an enormous amount of natural light. The kitchen was fully stocked with plates, cups, pans, kitchen utensils, cooking supplies, espresso machine and much more. It's location was perfect for us as it was halfway between downtown and the conference center. What we appreciated was having a washer and dryer available in the apartment. For check-in, they were accommodating and allowed us to check in later since we were spending the day in Sintra. Miguel met us at the apartment, gave us the tour, and provided a complimentary wine for us. It was nice that they had wine available to purchase incase you forgot to pick some up or did not know the nearest location to purchase it. Ana Maria and Miguel were quick to respond to messages and easily accessible by phone. They also provided a little guidebook for restaurants which came in handy most nights. A bonus feature of their place--it's above a bakery/eatery that you MUST try. Every morning you will wake up to tantalizing aromas of pastries! You will not be disappointed with the apartment or their hospitality.
