Liliana & Bruno’s place is at the heart of Alfama, the best area to stay in Lisbon!
Informed by the host around 2 weeks before my trip that the building will be under renovation during my stay. Workers in and out making noise during the day but not at night. Not ideal but we will be out during the day plus they are not working over the weekend (while we stay from Fri to Mon) so not a problem.
Just with a 28" luggage box climbing along those already very narrow staircases then with scaffoldings and sometimes workers walking behind / in front of you, were a mind and physical challenge. I made it...with some support from a friend of the host who helped me check-in, great thanks to her!
There was an accidental water supply problem but it is due to the central system, nothing the host can do with it. Liliana was super responsive. Luckily the problem was solved within 2 hours.
The 2 rooms are connected, you will have to pass through the one with bunk bed to the one with double bed. Beds were soft and comfy.
Great wifi, hairdryer and amenities are provided. Love the little surprise the host prepared! Everyelse as described.
Some maintenance may be needed for a socket and a few wall corners, but it doesn't bother us.
The host provides good tips and suggestions to eat, to do and to move around. Very helpful.
Overall enjoyed my stay and would surely coming back (with a backpack maybe...)
