| This apartment is very spacious and fully equipped as a home away from home. It is well located - close to the metro, shops, and churches. Our enjoyment of visiting beautiful Lisbon was enhanced by our four-night stay at this comfortable elegant apartment. We will definitley rent the apartment again in our next trip to Lisbon. |

| The apartment was very nice, it looked as good as the pictures. It had everything we needed for our stay and was very conveniently located. We felt like "locals" staying there. Filipe has made an effort to make peoples' stay as homelike as possible. We highy recommend it. |

We have stayed in Chiado apartments at Rua do Carmo 15 for 9 days. The
apartment was beautiful, spacious and very well-equipped, the location was
extremely convenient, and the view out of the windows was great.
The apartment exceeded our expectations. This is so much more comfortable than a hotel. Thanks.

This is a wonderful apartment The owner went above
and beyond the expectation when he found a
pharmacy on a Sunday and bought my lost
prescription for me then delivered it to the
apartment.That is hospitality and kindness. |

| The Chiado apartment exceeded our high expectations. As previous guests noted, the apartment is spacious, functional, bright, well decorated and well situated. There's not much I can think of to add except to advise my compatriots who love Europe but are discouraged by the weak dollar that Lisbon is surprisingly affordable, particularly the many excellent Portuguese wines - and not just Porto and Madeira - which cost a fraction of similar French and California vintages. |

The place was amazing and beyond our expectations. Better than Internet advertisement. You really thought of everything and your attention to detail about what we could possibly ever need made this apartment far more a home than a vacation.

what a joy to wake up in this apartment - light
flooding into the living room and dining rooms! (the
bedrooms are dark if you want that) . the space is
huge and perfectly clean and so very well equipped
- right down to a fabulous library of portuguese
music.
and it's so much fun to look down at the people on
the streetfrom the windows - best people-
watching ever!
i only wish we had had more time to explore lisbon
from this great location. . . hopefully again soon.

The apartment is great. There's easy access to the metro and the 28 tram. There's also a lot to see within walking distance, as well as cafes, stores, supermarket.
The view is incredile, it was always fun to be upstairs watching people at Rua do Carmo. The light that comes in the morning is great.
A great find, I know where I'm staying next time in Lisbon. |

Our second stay in this beautiful, specious
apartment– first stay was 3 weeks and second 4
weeks. Windows flood the main spaces with light
including the large separate dining room. The
central location offers access to many squares,
shopping and interesting places to visit. There is
easy access to the excellent Metro system. Filipe is
very approachable and helpful. Highly
recommended. |

Filipe provided us with a wonderful apartment for our stay over Christmas. We stay in apartments regularly and this is the best ever. It had all the extra little touches included - everthing from maps, suggestions, cooking ingredients...... The location is fantastic, the apartment is very clean, big and had lots of extra little touches not usually provided. Filipe met us at the apartment and was warm and friendly and even phoned during the week to offer help if needed. It was a wonderful place to stay - we highly recommend it.

What a wonderful find! My wife and I spent a fabulous week at The Chaido apartment of Filipe de Faria over the Thanksgiving Holiday. My brother and his wife joined us. We had perfect weather for the entire week. We wandered the city, visiting many museums, shops and restaurants. Our day trip to the Palace at Sintra was a highlight. Apartment could not be more perfect. Everything we needed was there, even a cell phone waiting for a SIM card. Washer/dryer, spices and condiments, Fado music and a DVD! The location in the heart of the old city was very convenient. And all for half the price of a nice hotel. We will be back.

| We had a great time in Lisbon recently. Thank you for the use of your apartment, it was truly stunning, so light, so central and perfect for our young family. We loved listening to the musicians playing in the evening outside on Rue du Carma, whilst gazing out at the castle. We will surely recommend Chiado Apartment to our friends. |

Well, the apartment turned out to be as wonderful as it looked on the internet. Lots of space, all the things needed - linens, kitchen,etc - and oh, that beautiful Lisbon sun streaming in every morning ! And, of course, the magnificent view of the Castelo. All in all, a perfect apartment in a terrific location. So much better and more comfortable than any hotel could have been. Thanks.

We enjoyed our 2 weeks in the Chiado apartment. The apartment is very bright and has a wonderful view of the castle; we especially enjoyed the view while dining in the evening.
Most of all, I could not think of a better location for a stay in Lisbon.
We walked every day, to sites and city neighborhoods exploring on foot.
Of course we enjoyed the historic trolley and the metro is conveniently located for touring further afield.
Philipe took care of our every need, including excellent guidebooks and recommendations in the area.
I would highly recommend a stay in this apartment! |

Re our week stay in late January 07 in the Chiado apartment, we felt very safe, the apartment is spacious and comfortable and very clean and quiet. You could not have a better location for just walking out and into all the interesting areas of Lisbon for daytime sightseeing and shopping or evening and nighttime drinks and wonderful dining. The subway is across the street and the tram around the corner for when your legs give out. The owner is a true gentleman and very helpful and accomodating. It is great value and we would not hesitate to return. Ola e Obrigado.

With beautiful views over the city, centrally located for all the major sights and for chilling out in the local cafes, the apartment makes an ideal holiday home. It is well equipped and very tastefuly decorated. Don't pass this up - just book it now! |

This apartment is perfect for a stay in Lisbon. It has an ideal location on a pedestrian street in the nicest part of the historic centre (Chiado), just a few steps away from the Rossio, the Baixa or the Bairro alto. The building is modern and elegant with elevators, rebuilt in the original 18th century style some 10-15 years ago. The apartment has high ceilings, tall windows with view of the castle hill, lots of light and sence of space, tasteful decoration, beautiful stone floors, comfortable furniture and is equipped with all you need - including fado CDs. We felt privileged to live in such a place, were enjoying every minute and are already longing to come back. Highly recommended.

| My wife and I had a piece of luck that unfortunately no one else is likely to have - we found this flat when if first came on the market and rented it for three months. It is outstanding for a stay of any length, and Filipe is an exemplary landlord. No matter why you are coming to Lisbon, this place will be suitable and the pictures don't do it justice. Check out the suggestions my wife and I made in the guest book. And no - I'm not related to Filipe. Wish I was. He might let me stay for free sometime ;) |

Comment Text: A wonderful apartment. The two bedrooms were ideal for our family of four. The place was unusually large, bright and sunny, well equipped and furnished. The apartment was immacluate when we arrived. We especially appreciated the dishwasher and cloths washer/dryer. The view of the castle at night was subperb, just like in the photos. The location was great. Centrally located,we were able to walk just about everywhere. And the double pane windows kept out all of the street noise. Our best internet find to date.

| The location of this flat is perfect, the feel light and airy, and the view (of the castle) spell-binding. The owner put us at ease from the first, responded to a small plumbing emergency immediately, and accommodated a few needs upon our departure. Lisbon is wonderful even on a bad day, in a wonderful flat, in glorious weather it is a perfect place to restore the spirit. |

A wonderful experience of living right in the center of Lisbon. All you need or want in the "old Lisbon" is right on your doorsteps. The view of the Castle over breakfast or a romantic evening is simply inspiring. Once you've stayed here you will never want another type of residence when visiting this beautiful city.
