A fantastic apartment and experience. If you want to stay in the old district, Alfama, (and who doesn't want to stay at the foot of a 16th century palace!) you couldn't pick a better place. The place is charming and historic but is thankfully modernly clean and has been touched up a bit . As well, its a stones throw away from the the famous trolley that lurches around the city and a vista over the port.

Juan is an excellent host, in that he sets you up with everything you need from the get go, including a list of recommendations for the city and of course the fantastic, huge metal key for beautiful old door to the place.

This was my first airbnb experience, and because of it, it won't be my last. Highly recommended.
