CUSTOMER COMMENTS & REVIEWS

Joshua Loberg (2 adults, 12 - 17 August, 2010):

Hello Roger,
Our 3 weeks in Portugal was really a magical trip. Nothing went wrong the whole time. The apartment was great, we were very comfortable and the location was perfect for exploring the city. We will definately recomend to our friends to stay in one of your places if they visit Lisbon.
Thanks for being helpful and making us feel welcome.

Anna Wezel (4 adults, 2 - 7 August, 2010):

Dear Roger,
for me everything was perfect, from the first contact via mail to the apartment. Everything was as promised in the internet.
Thanks again, we really enjoyed our stay!

Tara Johnson (4 adults, 25 - 28 July, 2010):

We had an absolutely lovely stay in the apartment, thanks!
We'd like to come again some time in the future. The apartment was charming and comfortable and had everything we needed for self-catering. The washing machine came in handy (we were pleasantly surprised to find the clothes line below the kitchen window), and the round bed was quite an experience.
We also appreciated the aircon and wireless internet - essential for surviving Lisbon's heat and organising our activities. The location was also fantastic - super close to Rossio Station, which made it easy to do our day trip to Sintra. We didn't realise it at first but the apartment is also really close to a bunch of small restaurants in the nearby lanes.
All in all we had a great stay and would recommend to any travellers looking for central, self-catering accommodation in Lisbon.

Lisa Ford (2 adults, 9 - 13 July, 2010):

We loved everything about our stay- The apartment was wonderful and was our favourite place to stay in our travels around Europe. It was in a great spot- close to everything.
The bed was the most comfortable we had slept in, and the apartment was clean and well furnished. It felt like our home away from home! We will definitely be recommending the apartment to family and friends travelling to Lisbon.
Thanks again Roger, we hope to return one day.
Lisa and Nathan

Patrick Meraldi (2 adults, 24 - 28 June, 2010):

We had a wonderful stay in Lisbon and liked both the city and the appartment a lot. We particularly appreciated the fact that the appartment is very well furnished and equipped, very central, which allowed us to stroll through the city entirely on foot ,and the A/C, which was essential with the heat.
We will certainly recommend it to friends who will visit Lisbon in the future.

Katie Baigrie (2 adults, 10 - 15 June, 2010):

Our stay in the apartment was wonderful – a real home-from-home – and I have already recommended you and the apartments to several friends who expressed an interest in Lisbon as a place to visit after raving about both them and the city on my return! It's nice to find a reasonably priced, modern, well appointed apartment in such an amazing location in the city. Having the large fridge and freezer and dishwasher meant we could relax and enjoy ourselves, having access to cold water and snacks and an easy means by which to clean up after ourselves. The washing machine proved invaluable and meant no mountains of dirty clothes to deal with on our return. The bed was incredibly comfortable and a real luxury being circular – so much room! The shower was fantastic too – just what was needed after a day walking around Lisbon to ease those aching legs.
Thank you for helping to make our stay so comfortable and relaxing! I've no doubt you'll be hearing again from us in the future as we'd love to be able to explore more of the city at a later date.

Ken & Cindy Hernder (2 adults, 24 - 27 April 2010):

- Hi Roger ---
We certainly did enjoy our Mouraria apt. stay!
For our first visit to Lisbon, the central location was excellent for easy tram, metro & bus access. We felt quite secure even returning late at night with that street lamp just opposite it's entry door. The uphill, upstairs location mght be difficult for some, but the view makes it well worth the effort!
We appreciated how well equipped it was - including the kitchen - even though we only had time to basically crash there with a couple of breakfasts eaten in, it could provide all necessities easily for a longer stay. We didn't discover the best grocery store (just off Rossio Square) until the 2nd last day or we may have been tempted to cook a little more. But then, that's what holidays are for...
(just remembered: as far as we could translate packaging, the powdered detergent as well as the liquid both seemed to be for laundry so we just ran the dishwasher without any - seemed to work fine - minor thing)
Thanks again for the Tromba Rija recommendation - loved it! We tried to find a decent Fado house our last evening, but our GPS literally had us going in circles on foot - so next time some better planning ahead will be called for.
We will certainly recommend the apt. to any/everyone & will post on tripadvisor soon (unless you prefer another travel site?). Was so nice to meet the beautiful Paula as well - how about that timing?!
We still marvel at how you managed to renovate so well (Ikea is very big here as well so we recognized most of the fittings) & especially wonder how you got that huge bed up there?!
Hope all was found in order after our departure. Our connecting flight in Heathrow was uneventful - downright boring, in fact! Missing the aftermath of the volcano's effects was a good thing, we will admit.
If ever in our part of the planet, do look us up - we'd like that.
Best regards, The Hernders of Niagara

Chris & Stuart Hutchins (2 adults, 25 - 31 March 2010):

- We both really enjoyed staying there. Everything about the apartment was fine - very clean, bright, modern and well equipped. WiFi was useful - a nice touch. The only items we did want for during our stay were a bread knife and cutting board, although we got round it, it was no big deal.
If we were to really ask for anything more, it would only be superfluous luxuries like a cd player/radio. We had a lovely welcome from Anna when we arrived and it's fine that you weren't around when we left - thanks for trusting us with the deposit. It was also nice to have your support when we had the plug issue (hope that's ok now).
We would sincerely recommend others visiting Lisbon to stay there.
Best wishes, Christine and Stuart

Our reply:
Thanks for your kind comments. The apartment has several different cutting knives (although perhaps not a specific bread knife) and there should be 2 different cutting boards, but we'll check it again and also consider your suggestion for the CD/radio.

Olimpia Ciripoiu (2 adults, 27 - 30 November, 2009):

We enjoyed the stay in the apartment and we would like to give it our highest recommendations: it is centrally situated, it is cosy and romantic and most of all if has the extra-factor that makes the stay more enjoyable than a hotel room could do.
We are already giving your references to our friends who plan to visit Lisbon.
All the best, Olimpia.

Louis & Nancy McGrath (2 adults, 2 - 9 November, 2009):

Anyone who rents apartments for a holiday is aware of the many benefits it has over a hotel. But they also know that it's a small leap of faith. One never knows what to expect...is the neighborhood safe, do the photos accurately depict the accommodations, is it clean? Most times you are pleased, but you never know. And you are on your own, there is no manager to complain to.
Having just spent a week at this apartment on Rua das Fontainhas near Largo Martin Moniz we can assure you that you will be pleasantly surprised. The apartment is immaculate and uncluttered. Very modern. Satellite TV with lots of English and Portuguese stations. Wireless internet with a strong signal.
The bedroom loft was a nice touch, feels very removed from the downstairs area and is quite romantic. The round bed was novel and very comfortable. And the skylights allow a wonderful view over the city.
And the location, while on a very quiet street, is very proximate to the center of all the activity in Lisbon. Praca Figueira is at most a 7-10 minute stroll and the 28 Tram and Metro stations are even closer.
But what was equally appreciated was the attention of the owners. The apartment was reserved at the very last minute and we left the US not even certain of the exact address. Upon arrival we called one of the owners, who directed the taxi driver and was patiently waiting at the apartment for us, after an hour plus delay in the airport. And both owners made several contacts via phone and email to ensure that we were satisfied.
All in all a wonderful stay in a wonderful apartment.
Louis and Nancy, Coopersburg, Pa.
P.S. Do note that this apartment requires a bit of a climb. So it's not for anyone who may have mobility problems.

Sara Andersson (1 adult, 23 August - 28 October, 2009):

I stayed in this lovely apartment for 9 weeks and I highly recommend it. It's very convenient, very clean, the view is great and the owners are so friendly and helpful.
There are many stairs, both outside and inside the house, but for people with good legs that's not a problem, it's just a part of the charm.

Javier Alonso Ortega (4 adults, 8 - 11 August, 2009):

El apartamento nos gustó mucho. Yo fui el que se encargó de buscar el apartamento y el único que lo había visto en fotos, por lo que sabía más o menos cómo era, pero a los demás desde que entraron les gustó mucho, decían que fue un acierto elegir ese apartamento.

Cuando viajamos solemos alquilar apartamentos antes que hoteles y este es el que he visto mejor equipado hasta ahora. Tiene de todo y por lo que nos dijeron los propietarios, además lo estrenabamos.

Un único detallito sin importancia que diría es que las sábanas del sofá cama no cabían o no las supimos encajar, pero no fue para nada un problema. Por todo lo demás, encantados con nuestra estancia allí.

Si vuelvo a Lisboa, será el primer sitio que mire para reservar y se lo recomendaré a todo el que conozca que vaya.

TRANSLATION: We liked the apartment a lot. I was the one who found the apartment and the only one of us who had seen the photos, so I knew more or less what it was like, but when the others arrived they really liked it and said it was a great choice.

When travelling, we normally rent apartments instead of going to a hotel and this is the best equipped apartment I've seen until now. It has everything, and according to what the owners told us, we were the first guests.

The only thing I would say, and it's of no real importance, is that the sheets for the sofa-bed didn't fit, or at least we didn't know how to make them fit, but it wasn't a problem at all. For the rest, we loved our stay there.

If I return to Lisbon, it will be the first place I look at to book, and I'll recommend it to everybody I know.
