Comments from Owner Guestbook

The apartment is very big with plenty of room for at least 4 people, its a residential area but not very far from Rossio for a wide choice of restaurants, shops and tourist attractions! Everything is within walking distance but far enough away from the noise of traffic, though the street can be noisy at night sometimes with locals or rubbish collection. I would recommend this apartment for a small group holiday or family, everything was clean and tidy and Paula was always there to help and make sure we were happy.

A very comfortable and proper apartment with a lot of space and a nice garden. Good customer service; when you arrive you'll find some fruit on the kitchen table and the fridge is filled with a bottle of wine, some cheese etc. Paula, who lives on the ground floor, is waiting for you and is very helpful. She speaks English and if you have some questions, just ask her.
Nice location, quiet but close to Rossio, Alfama, Baixa. Well, in fact close to everything!; Close to the railway station ( go to Estorol to the beach for instance)
Carole, the owner, gives you a lot of information by email. She also is very helpful. Just ask her and you get an answer.
Carole, thanks for everything and when we come back to Lisbon, I know where we'll stay: your apartment!
Yes, we can recommend it to other people.

If you want to sample the real Lisboa with all its charm, then Carol’s apartment is a place to stay at. There is a family, unique touch about it and the location is great – you are just a short walk from all the attractions - the Castle, Alfama, the 28 tram stop…. You do not need a car, unless you are planning to visit places around Lisbon (i.e. Tomar, Fatima, Obidos) as we did; there is an ample, fee parking space in the street. Carole made sure that we felt at home from the very first moment- a bottle of a local wine and some fantastic cheese were in the fridge to greet us on arrival. Most importantly however, Paula (next door neighbour and fluent English speaker) was always around in case we had any questions or needed help.
Carole, thank you very much for a fantastic week! – We would recommend your place without a moment of hesitation.

Just back home from one week in Lisboa. All five of us agreed this was at least as expected. The spacious apt. was perfect esp. with regards to our (varying) diurnal rhytm - and consequently the late, long outdoor brunches. Also honours to P&P for their services.

A nicely appointed townhouse with private garden and a very helpful caretaker in Paula downstairs. Good facilities and a nice size.
The area is a bit "edgy" but interesting and quite safe.
Could benefit from wireless internet (which Paula has downstairs and will let you use).

The apartment suited all our needs - being clean, comfortable and centrally located with the addition of having character and being in a quiet but totally fascinating area. It was great to be able to walk to a number of attractions but we also enjoyed the trams and buses!
The roof terrace was a bonus, what better than at the end of a busy sightseeing day to relax with a drink or start the next day with a leisurely breakfast with fresh rolls from the local bakery while we planned our itinerary.
We also found restaurants within a short walk away which provided good honest food at exceptionally reasonable prices. We never did get to use the cooker or microwave as we preferred to sample the local cuisine!
Paula and Paulo were very helpful when they picked us up from the airport giving us an impromptu tour of central Lisbon showing us various places to go and pointing us in the right direction to getting our bus passes.
We will certainly recommend this apartment to anyone we know and if we return to Lisbon it will be our first port of call.

We spent five days at Carole and Ken's apartment in Lisbon - a superb location in the old part of the city, approx 10 minutes walk below the Castle wall, and 5 minutes walk down to the centre of the city. The apartment suited us very well as with two young boys we appreciated the sunny outdoor garden area to play in. It was very comfortable and extremely well set up for holiday makers and while it only says three bedrooms, we used the living room as a fourth as we had Grandma with us too - there is plenty of living space in the kitchen/dining area and outdoors. The neighbour Paula was fantastic - full of helpful information that made our stay so much easier and kindly organised a taxi for us. Lisbon is a fantastic city to visit - we wandered through the city streets, rode on the tram, played in parks, spent the day at Estoril Beach, visited the Oceanarium and Gondolar, took the train to Sintra from Rossio Station (10 minute walk from apartment), ate at open air restaurants, saw the sights of Lisbon from the Castle. We will definitely be back again!

We could not have been better than in Carol's flat in Lisbon. the appartment is not only greatly located, next to the Castelo san Giorgio, it is also very well equipped, spacious and has everything you might need. You feel immediately at home and the sunny terrace with its fruit trees and plants is so agreeable that you might find difficult to leave it!
In addition, Paula who lives downstairs is a great helper and gives you her good tips for visits. If we go back to Lisbon, we will certainly go back there!

Une excellente adresse à recommander, appartement tres bien situé, comprenant tout ce qu'il faut pour une séjour avec ou sans enfants, et disposant d'une tres belle et agréable terrasse.
