APARTMENT OF LIGHT - Free Wifi

We loved staying in this apartment, which had everything you could ask for. Also plenty of very warm and heavy blankets on the beds, as it does tend to get chilly inside in the Portuguese winters. The area is quiet and I do recommend a car if you want to stay there. Parking is easy and plentiful. The contact with the owner José was prompt, informative and very nice. For us a perfect place to stay and we definitely recommend it!

The apartment was nice. Check in was a big of a bother since the lady doing the check in did not speak any English. The bedrooms were OK but the pillows were lumpy and terrible. the little twin beds had no pillows at all and we had to take one off the other beds. It is not close to any of the attractions in centro. It was a hard down hill walk to the train station,and we had to take a taxi back from the subway each evening since the up hill walk to the apartment seemed daunting. By the way it is the last stop on the blueline subway. Lisbon itself was great. We took a TUK TUK around town (Martin, our driver was an excellent guide) It sure beat standing in a long line trying to catch the 28 trolley.

We wanted to visit Lisbon to see the sights for a couple of nights whilst visiting the Algarve and found this great apartment. You are a bit out of town, but we had driven up with our two teenage children and parking is easily available and included with this apartment. It is easily located off the main roads and in a very quiet residential area. There are 3 good sized bedrooms, one with ensuite, the other two sharing the shower room. The kitchen is well equipped, everything was clean and tidy. Not sure how you'd get about if you didn't have a car, though we were told by the key holder on check in that the train station is not too far away, and she did offer to show us where it was. We drove to see the sights in Belem and it only took about 10 minutes in the car. We also parked in one of the underground carparks in central Lisbon for a whole day, cost only 14€, which was definitely cheaper than a family of 4 taking trains, trams etc. The beach at Cascais was a 20 minute drive. Perfect for our needs, very accommodating and friendly people, minor issue with language, mostly down to us not speaking Portuguese as the main owner was away and a friend was key holding for him. He contacted by telephone and everything was fine. We would definitely stay there again when visiting Lisbon in future.
