Monthly Rentals in Selho (São Cristóvão)

This place is beautiful, very clean, the location is great. The building is stone and very old and sturdy. You can walk to a few good restaurants in the neighborhood or walk to the mall and historic downtown. It’s right next to a hospital and is in a high traffic area but the sounds were almost comforting to me. Like white noise. Staying alone, I preferred that to the quote of the countryside. The design of the loft is a thing of beauty, but the stairs would be hard to navigate for the elderly. The only issue I had was during my arrival at night the first day I was there. They provide great visual instructions but the driveway is right after a curve and it’s up a curb. Not like a driveway in the USA. It’s dark and you would not expect to go up a sidewalk curb to enter the driveway. It was not problem once I figured it out but again, at night it was hard to fine.

Jorge's apartment is fantastic. Probably one of the best Airbnb I've ever done. The accommodation is very clean. It is very well equipped and provided with everything in quantity: coffee, tea, toilet paper, paper towels, products for dishwasher and washing machine, shampoo, shower gel, etc. We didn't want for anything. Jorge welcomed us very late without any difficulty, he responds instantly. Really everything was perfect. The city is very close, a supermarket less than 5 minutes away and parking in the building. And Jorge leaves wine, water, fruit juice and delicious pastries.

Everything impeccable. Any problem would just send a message, which we immediately had an answer.

Five stars to Casa de Cardido and to Rui and Alexandra for being wonderful hosts. We were a little late checking in, but Rui greeted us with a smile and a very generous tabua of local cheeses and meats. The hosts go above anything expected, with a sound system at the pool, exercise equipment, and fresh bread delivered daily. The house is a traditional Portuguese home - and it feels like a “home” not a rental. We spent two weeks here and it felt like staying with family. I noticed that one review commented on how close the highway is. Please know this is not a problem. You can see the highway when approaching the home from the road, but you cannot hear it and it does not interfere with the experience. This is very high quality stay with caring and involved hosts that will make sure you have all you need. I highly recommend.
