Short stay
We had a great start. I mistakenly booked the wrong date and the host quickly accommodated. Unfortunately after our stay it was the complete opposite. The host has made false accusations albeit this is unclear because of the language differences and this is currently under investigation.

Adorable home in beautiful walled town
Our host was extremely friendly and helpful, and patiently resent parking and arrival instructions after my VRBO app stopped working. The house was very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Beds were comfortable. Location is quiet and pretty. We would stay here again.

Could not be better
The property was in a wonderful location and immaculate. Gabriela provided lovely amenities and was extraordinary in her communications. Never having been there, she anticipated many details for us including precise directions to this walled city and parking. Her welcome was truly warm! If going to Obidos, you definitely want to stay here!

Great location in a wonderful village
The owner, Gabriella is wonderful! She cares very much that her guests are happy. The home has everything you’d need and is charming. Obidos is a very old town and the home is also old, but fully functional. It has the fastest internet I’ve ever had in Europe! Lots of great places to eat and all within the walls. Two big grocery stores are a 10 minute walk away. Thank you Gabriella!

Lack of communication
Although the accommodation was beautiful and the location is very charming, the lack of communication from the homeowner made for a bad experience. From the beginning I asked if there was parking infront of the house because I had a relative with a disability coming in and I am aware that Obidos is filled with steep hills. I was told yes, however the parking was outside the town. We had to carry my 67 year old aunt inside the house. From my 5 years experience of renting through home away, as soon as I book the accommodation, the owner always sends me an email of what's expected to happen and house rules. They also tell me where they hide the keys so I can come in as late as I please. I did not get this with the homeowner I felt like I had to nag her for responses. Even then, she would tell me "let's take care of it later". While I was in Portugal, there was no communication until the day of. I had no internet so I did not receive any of the homeowner's messages. I texted her around 8:50pm letting her know I was going to have dinner and that I was 30 minutes away...to which her response was "you have until 10pm to retrieve your keys." I understand that her accommodation isn't a hotel, however I did purchase a night and didn't feel it was appropriate for me to have a curfew. This relationship was a business one, not a personal one where I am told when I should come in, especially 1 hour before. What would have happened if I hadn't texted her? In turn, I was not able to have dinner until 11pm, at a fast food burger joint. She also did not communicate with me that she needed to do a check in process...a legal requirement in Portugal that I never heard of before. Although the homeowner is very friendly and the house is beautiful, I would never book to stay here again and wouldn't recommend it to any of my friends.

Fantastic place to stay in Obidos! Great location, amazing host
A great place to stay, nice house, excellent location, easy access to all main attractions in Obidos. The host, Gabriela, warm, attentive, helpful, welcoming, kind. She made us feel as though we were home with long time friends. I will absolutely recommend staying at Casa da Travessa!

Poor Communication
We did not receive a message from Gabriela until 12:00pm the day of the rental and when I asked for directions to the property she did not provide them, even when I asked twice for the information over a span of the hours 1200-1500. We visited the tourist haven of Obidos and quickly left due to the hoards of tourist buses and crowds. We had a flight to catch back home the following morning so opted for another night stay at a hotel in Lisbon instead. I can't comment on the property however the communication from Gabriela was lacking the information we asked, namely the address so we could reach the location to check-in!!!
