Like Home by Madrabica
Breezy kitchenette apartments near Santos and LX Factory
About this stay
Units here favor an airy, self-catered layout over a standard hotel room, each one fitted with a kitchenette and air conditioning inside a smoke-free building, so cooking a simple meal after a day out is never a problem. The address sits in Santos, a quiet design quarter of workshops and showrooms tucked between the city center and the river, a short walk from LX Factory, the former warehouse complex now filled with galleries, print studios and cafes, and close to the Alcântara docks where the Tagus opens wide. Complimentary Wi-Fi covers every unit, and the front desk arranges an airport shuttle for arrivals and departures. Families travelling with children settle in easily here, since the apartment format gives everyone their own space rather than a single shared room. The neighborhood keeps a relaxed, workaday pace, closer to a residential district than a tourist strip, which suits travellers who prefer breathing room over constant foot traffic outside the window.

Our take
Like Home by Madrabica suits families and longer-stay travellers who want a kitchenette and real breathing room over a compact hotel room, with Santos and LX Factory both within walking distance. It is a poor match for anyone chasing a full-service hotel with a restaurant or bar on site, since the format here is self-catered apartment living. The kitchenette in every unit turns a multi-night stay into something closer to living than to sleeping over.
- Book a kitchenette unit ahead if you plan to cook, since self-catering is the whole point of staying here.
- Ask about the airport shuttle schedule when you book, so your arrival lines up with an available pickup time.
- Walk to LX Factory in the evening for the galleries and cafes, then head back through quiet Santos streets.
