Paulo was a great host. He picked us up at the airport and was very friendly and helpful and always available by phone if needed. The location was right in the midst of Alfama streets, with restaurants and cafés around the corner. Alfama is on a hill so it is wise to keep in mind that there is a bit of a climb to the apartment and some steep stairs up to the 2nd floor so it may not be ideal for all travellers. If you are ok with that and you would like an interesting cultural experience, go for it. The apartment was clean and we were provided with all basic amenities.
