We have just returned from Lisbon and stayed at Principe Real 1 apartment. From the first email received from Mario from Fadoflats I really liked the customer support they offered. We took a taxi from the airport (it was 23Euro as we bought Taxi Voucher from the tourist office). Mario was waiting already for us in the apartment. The apartment was just a right size for our family (2 adults and two small children). Kids slept on sofa in the living room. The apartment had all we needed, including washing machine to wash kids clothes. It was the second floor, it has no elevator but had no problems to carry our two strollers up there. We used the flat mostly as a sleeping room as we spend whole days exploring Lisbon. We really liked the location as it was just 10 min walk from the Metro station avenida and close to many restaurants. When you stay there you shouldn't miss a few attractions nearby: 1. Botanic Garden (Jardim Botânico) - 10 min walk 2. Jardim da Estrela - beautiful garden with great playground for kids - 15 min walk 3. Haagen Dazs garden called Secrte Sensation (use Google to find it) - 5 min walk, narrow road right from R. Sao Pedro de alcantara, very close to Jardim do Principe Real. Nice small garden with beautiful view of Lisbon. You can have there your ice creams or cocktails while seating on the grass or on white pillows. 3. Vegetarian Restaurant Jardim do Sentidos (www.jardimdosentidos.com ) - 5 min, walk down the stairs towards avenida Metro station. Great restaurant with a nice garden, where kids can run while you can enjoy your meal or wine. When we left the apartment we took a taxi from the taxi stand at the Jardim do Principe Real. This time we paid just 13 Euro as we paid directly to the driver. In summary: nice apartment with the great location and great people to deal with. Thanks Mario!

Nous gardons des beaux souvenirs de notre séjour à Lisbonne: appartement joliment décoré et très propre, l’accueil chaleureux de Mario et la situation parfaite, en plein cœur de cette ville merveilleuse. Très sympa, merci !

I would say that I'm pretty fussy when it comes to holiday rentals...a lot of the time reviews can be misleading and you can be disappointed...you won't be here.
All the reviews are spot on, it really is a great place to stay. The apartment is in a fantastic location - with all transport options close by and the famous Bairro Alto in walking distance. Chiado is a beautiful area with lots of character and charm, you could easily spend a whole week in just this area alone. We also did a day trip to Sintra which was excellent and well worth doing (you can get a train straight there from nearby rail station 'Rossio'). The apartment is great, clean, spacious (there was only two of us), and the kitchen has all that you need to prepare meals at home. Towels are provided and a cleaner also came once within our week's stay which was a nice touch.
Mario was very helpful and super efficient throughout the booking process and he was promptly at the apartment to meet us on our arrival and also came when we left to wave us goodbye and book us a taxi which we really appreciated...a great host.
The complimentary Fado Flats T-Shirts were a really sweet gesture too. The whole experience was relaxed and hassle-free and we will definitely be in touch with Mario on any return visits to this beautiful city and would happily reccomend the apartment to friends and family.

A fully furnished clean apartment was the first thing that really impressed me when I checked in. Comfort was my priority since I will be staying for 12 days and this apartment really contributed greatly for a nice vacation I sure had. In fact it was really hard to leave you can really feel at home and Lisbon is such a wonderful city. As an additional factor the apartment also has a great view from the windows since it's on the top floor. Coordinating with the property owner Mario,has surpassed my expectations. Every concerns that I have before and after booking was taken cared of in a very prompt manner. Very professional owner with a great touch of Hospitality that would make your first time visit to Lisbon memorable. This will be my second home when I visit Lisbon again.

This is a really nice flat. Lovely and comfortable with all the details accounted for. It's well situated on the heights of the old town, so there are lots of great views. it's just a short walk to many great sites and good restaurants and easy public transport.

The accommodations are clean and well cared for. A beautiful apartment!

El apartamento está en un lugar único, en pleno barrio de Alfama. Tiene muchísimo encanto, y está rodeado de restaurantes pequeñitos donde escuchar fado en un ambiente familiar. Se encuentra en medio de la catedral y el castillo de San Jorge, por lo que se puede visitar a pie. Por las mañanas el barrio tiene mucha vida y está bien comunicado en tranvía con los otros barrios. Ideal para ir con tu pareja o con un grupo de 4. La única complicación existe si vas con niños por tener que subir el carrito a pie por las escaleras, no hay ascensor. Es el único inconveniente. Ninguno para gente joven. El chico que te atiende, Mario, es súper amable y está disponible para cualquier duda. Las vistas desde las ventanas tampoco tienen desperdicio. En la casa tienen planos de la ciudad y folletos con explicaciones sobre dónde comer, museos o actuaciones. Muy recomendable.
