The hosts were very polite, attentive and welcoming. This is a gorgeous, bright, spacious, comfortable property in the charming historic district within walking distance to restaurants and sites. We had a wonderful stay here and would return.
We had a terrific stay for over a week with three generations of our family. We were welcomed and the house was in excellent condition. This location is just perfect - it is both quiet but also in the middle of everything!
Amazing place, plenty of space for our family if 10. Host was incredible and even tried to help us when we lost a phone . Portuguese tarts on arrival .. doesn't get any better .
We are 6 friends who love to travel together, and this was one of our favorite stays ever! This beautiful old home has so much character, and there was plenty of space to spread out or hang out together. The private patio was a perfect place to gather for a glass of wine in the evening. Thank you Luis and Rita!
Fabulously home. We were a group of 11 family and friends and this home suited us very well. Indoor and outdoor areas and very well appointed, nothing was missing. Great location and great hosts.
This lovely older home is nicely appointed, full of charm, very spacious and most of all comfortable. It was lovely to be able to walk and explore the city and then come back to a space where we could just relax in comfort. If we were coming back to Portugal we would definitely stay here again.

Thank you very much Linda.
It was a pleasure to have you and your friends.
We hope you can comeback.
Luis has a lovely house in a great location! Restaurants close buy- everything you need & he was very responsive whenever I needed a taxi… only omission was a washer/Dryer on site but close but if needed. Highly recommend the host & house
Luis’s place was wonderful. It comfortably fit our two families. We loved the interior courtyard where young kids could play, and it was in a great walkable location. We highly recommend.
We were a family of 8 adults and this house had more than enough space for us. The outdoor patio was beautiful, even in December! Loved the location as well. Property was clean and owners were attentive and a pleasure. Thank you!
The property is very well maintained and clean. Great location in charming neighborhood and parking is available a short distance from property for those with cars. Very comfortable common areas and a beautiful private courtyard. Luis was easy to coordinate with and was quick with responses. You won’t be disappointed.
Most professional and friendly support by the property manager, Luis. Clean and very well maintained house. Perfect location.
Recommend property wholeheartedly.
Our family of 9 enjoyed every aspect of our stay but most particularly being able to use the courtyard - ball games with the children, pre-dinner drinks and dinner outside in the cool of the evening. The kitchen was extremely clean and very well equipped. Communication with Luís was excellent and we appreciated his helpfulness. Thanks for a great stay!
This lovely home was a perfect retreat from the busy busy Lisbon scene. Quiet and restful after days of sightseeing with a lovely private yard, comfortable living and dining areas for our multigenerational family of 7. Very clean, nice linens and towels and conveniently located near several restaurants and a little waterside park with music which was fun and festive at night. Our host gave us great directions, greeted us upon arrival and scheduled taxis for us for the airport when we left which was most appreciated.
I was very happy that we were greeted by the owners. They showed us what to do and what not to do. Very easy check in and for those other folks who may be worried about the air-conditioning and WIFI. Don't worry- it was perfect. Love the backyard and closeness to everything delightful in Portugal. Owners were super helpful and gracious. Will definitely stay again. Dave & family & friends
My friends and I had a very enjoyable stay at this apartment. We were able to walk everywhere. It's just far enough away from the hustle and bustle of busier streets to enjoy some quiet time. There were 7 adults in my group, and there was plenty of space. The courtyard outside was an added bonus. If the weather was better, we would have spent more time out there. The host was very responsive as well.
