I stayed at Carla’s place for a month with my partner and baby. We had a wonderful time. She was a very responsive host and the place was lovely. The bed was comfy, absolutely loved the bubble chair, and the kitchen was so well stocked that it was easy to cook proper meals.
We set up the travel cot in our bedroom and fortunately there are shutters which helped reduce the noise. It is very centrally located so it was very noisy for the baby. Having a washer and dryer was essential for travelling with a baby for so long so that was great.
We were there in August and the lounge was always very hot when we’d get back from being out, but there are so many large windows/doors that it’s easy to cool the room down. There was also a tower fan which was great.
Santini next door is a delicious ice cream place, and our favourite pasteis de nata was at manteigaria just a couple of minutes walk away.
You can’t beat the location for access to everything. We saw so many things and it was great to never have to venture too far from the flat if we wanted to get the baby home.
