What can i say? Well, Irene and Pedro were extremely welcoming for our first stop in Portugal. Irene was a treasure and all the tips she gave us practically made our stay. She literally drew a map of all the places to visit and places to see (the Mercado bom succeso was a real find). Pedro was also very helpful and they were easy to contact regardless of the query.
It's a very smooth trip from the airport - direct metro, then a 10ish minute walk to the flat. When you arrive you're either greeted by Irene or Pedro who meet you by the flat. The flat is a 10min walk or less to the centre of town. We managed to take all our luggage to the Bento station walking, just to show how easy it is to get there.
There are 2 rooms in the flat. Our room was very clean with a lot of storage space and plenty of plugs! The bed is extremely comfortable (although a bit creaky) and big.
The bathroom, has a BIG shower with a big shower head. There is also another toilet that has a bidet, therefore no need to worry about hogging the bathroom ;-)
The rest of the flat is well equipped, with a fridge and washing machine. There is a little balcony that feels like a lil getaway and the lounge has a sofa and a settee.
The flat, not being right in the centre, makes it quite pleasant and tourist free. The flat is on a main road, but if like us you spend the whole day out, this doesn't matter. However, you "might" be woken up early in the morning, if you're a light sleeper, depending on whether the binman is around that morning...
You will not be disappointed if you stay here :-)
Just want to thank Irene and Pedro for having been excellent hosts!
