The flat is great as well. It's very spacious compared to other places we looked at, which is nice when you have a long-term stay. It was great to have spaces for our kids to go off and read or play and not feel like we're all squished together. The kitchen is a great size and has everything you need and the laundry is very helpful.
We loved the location, as it's 5-10 mins by Uber/Bolt to the beaches of Foz do Douro or Matosinhos, 10 mins across the bridge to Gaia and 10-15 mins to central Porto. The area is close to groceries and cafes and people around the neighbourhood were very friendly.
Probably the only negative - and it's hardly a negative - is that the Serralves Park is an enclosed park that requires payment to access. It was very lovely and we did a night walk through it with a light show. There are also museums throughout the park that you can pay to visit. But with younger kids, we would've preferred an open park with a playground that we could visit frequently. But those types of parks aren't too far away either so it wasn't a big deal.
Overall, the flat made for a perfect home base to retreat to and chill out. It was important to us to not only do the touristy things and burn ourselves out, but have time to live like a local would, make meals at home, relax and play a game, etc. This place was just right in giving us that peaceful, home-like setting. I would absolutely stay here again and I can't recommend it enough.
The location inside the Solmar Avenida Center is very useful : everything is available very quickly, the local farmers market and bars and restaurants are closed by.
The staff was kind and helpful. I wish I could have stayed another time in this apartment.
The landlord insists of cleaning the bed linen for you, which didn’t seem to be optional but it is included in the price. Landlord has little to no English but there is the option to communicate via the agency who do speak English. We did most of the communication via WhatsApp and Google translate.
There were issues with the hot water not always running. This was sporadic and sometimes it works, sometimes it didn’t.
The washing machine broke 2 days prior to move out which was just bad timing as it meant we couldn’t clean the towels and last min things before move out.
We asked if they wanted us to get the flat professionally cleaned and the agency said no. But later the landlord complained the towels were not cleaned, although the machine has broken so not sure what we were meant to do there, but so far we weren’t charged any extra for this.
Overall the flat is good, no reason at all not to rent it again, the internet was probably the biggest thing for us as we were staying 6 weeks, but we found a solution with using our hotspot.
Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, Eszter!
I definitely recommend it.
The apartment is fully prepared for the tenants and has everything you need. It is cozy, clean, and furnished with taste. It was a pleasure to come back there after a long day, to stay home and work or just chill.
Perfect location with the gym, pool, table tennis, and grill space on the rooftop is perfect for any activities you like. The location is super close to the beautiful beaches of Caparica, but also in a quiet area.
Marta and Jean were very thoughtful and gave us a well-prepared Google map with cool cafes and restaurants that locals enjoy. We visited almost all and they deserve your attention indeed.
If you want to have a great time in Lisboa and the area, this apartment is exactly what you would love.
