Julia was a great host as she was very prompt in her responses, detailed and thorough in her instructions, the place was nice and clean, and she also gave recommendations of things to try during our stay in the city. There are stairs and it is in an apartment on the 4th floor, but the location is prime as it's in the heart of Alfama and in close proximity to the heart of Lisbon. I highly recommend Julia's place while staying in Lisbon!
