My partner, his parents and I have recently spent a few very pleasant days in this nice apartment with an "Awesome View over Alfama and Tejo"! This was the first time I used airbnb to book accommodation and our hosts made the experience absolutely memorable. Ricardo was extremely patient, helpful and timely in answering all my questions regarding not only the flat, its location and how to get there and around, but also in providing clarifications about using the airbnb system. Importantly, even though we were renting the flat during high season when they could maximise their profits, Ricardo was willing to reduce the charges for the flat, adjusting them to the number of people staying each night, when my parents-in-law departed a couple of days before us.

The friendliness and outstanding hospitality of Luis and Andre were immediately apparent as soon as we arrived. To our surprise, not only there were already some food and drinks waiting for us (bread and butter, tea, coffee and juice), they were also kind enough to get us some more drinks absolutely free of charge. During our holidays they came around to make sure we were enjoying our staying, and provided us with suggestions on things to see and do in Lisbon. On our departure once more we felt that our hosts went beyond our expectations when we received a very generous gift of a bottle of Port wine as a souvenir from Portugal!

The flat itself is very nicely decorated and it has the most beautiful, uninterrupted views of the river Tejo. On arrival, the apartment was immaculately clean and it was cleaned for us (bed sheets and towels changed) during our stay. Moreover, the apartment is located near the centre of Lisbon, in walking distance to many city attractions such as the castle and the cathedral, besides having two tram stops nearby and many taxis driving around frequently, making it the perfect location to explore the Portuguese capital. Overall, I can't speak highly enough in recommending this place and its hosts as the perfect base to explore Lisbon :-)
