Convenient location, friendly family with interesting stories and helpful recommendations. They truly welcomed me as part of their family over the holidays. I have been recommending this place to everyone I know going to Portugal!

Maria est une personne adorable, elle m'a aidée à découvrir Lisbonne de la meilleure façon possible en me suggérant certaines visites.
J'ai pu aussi découvrir Cabo Da Roca, un endroit magnifique , paisible à absolument voir.
Mon séjour était bien rythmé avec les conseils, suggestions de Maria la veille pour le lendemain.
Elle m'a envoyé par WhatsApp aussi des suggestions de restaurant avec du Fado.
En tout cas j'ai pu allier les visites de musées, le tramway de Lisbonne les rencontres de personnes, la plage : profiter de marcher le long de la plage, la baignade dans l'océan les sorties restaurants, le shopping du dernier jour.
Enfin pour moi, je suis satisfaite car j'ai pu faire un mix de tout..Host reply

J'ai passé un séjour inoubliable chez la famille Maria.
J'y suis resté plus d'un mois, ils m'on accueilli comme un membre de leur famille. J'ai pu améliorer mon portugais et découvrir Lisbonne grâce à leurs conseils.
Le logement est génial, chambre avec salle de bain privative, super propre et soigné.
Il y a un accès au métro et un petit supermarché juste à côté.
Ils vont beaucoup me manquer.
Je recommande fortement Maria pour un séjour inoubliable à LisbonneHost reply
Mon cher Jerome. Merci beaucoup pour votre paroles. Nous nous souvions de toi avec joie et nous voulons te voir dans le futur proche.

I loved my stay in Maria's house! She made me feel very welcome, she and her family are just great! The apartment's location is very good: 3 minutes by foot to the metro station and a beautiful park. In the same building there's also a supermarket that has everything one needs. A pharmacy and other shops are also nearby. I strongly recommend Maria as a host, it couldn't have been better! Thank you!
