The apartment's location was fantastic. It was close to the city centre and very safe and apart from a barking dog (!) it was really quiet, especially for such a central location. The views from the windows were fabulous.

The apartment itself was spotless - really clean. However, there was a dreadful smell from the drains in the kitchen and bathroom. When I opened the dishwasher the smell was very strong. The smell was not there all the time however so it did not pose a huge problem. The kitchen equipment was great - we didn't use the washing machine or cooker but it all looked perfect. The little laundry/ironing area was heavenly!

Our welcome to Lisbon from Felipe was excellent! All aspects of payment of the bill and arrangements for coming and going were excellent too. The fact that we were able to communicate with you in perfect English was invaluable. 

All in all, we really enjoyed our long weekend in Lisbon. The apartment was very very adequate for our needs - maybe a little more emphasis on comfort would be good.

Obrigado!

Comments/ suggestions:

Isabel gave us a very warm welcome, with bread she baked for us and a sample of very beautiful traditional Portugese music.

The place is very cute and pretty and simply lacks only of 3 things

- towel holders in the bath

- a carrier inside the shower for utensils

- the shower head needs to be repaired, the hose almost comes off and it is leaking aside

    (we where very careful with it but it will fall apart soon)

The apartment was perfectly located.  In the past few years we have used a number of holiday apartments.  This one was the most tastefully decorated.  The hostest was very nice, and was very friendly to our eight-year old son.

A fantastic apartment in a very central location. Clean and modern, with a great view of the castle and the streets below. I wish I could find a place like this in central London.

Finally a really warm and friendly greeting on arrival helped to start our holiday the best way,
