A great little house in Alfama with very attentive hosts! The home is situated in the center of one of the most interesting places in Lisbon with easy access to public transportation and lots to do in the immediate area. When I had any questions, Tomek replied to my messages almost immediately - he was really helpful! The apartment itself is pretty tiny but very comfortable and functional, with an updated kitchen and bath and a nice sitting area. You can definitely hang out here after a long day of walking around the city, or you can stay in for an evening, preparing food and lounging in the living room.
A few things to consider about staying here:
-I was there in May, and the heat was still tolerable, but I don't think I could handle staying in a place with no AC during Lisbon's summer months.
-You have to climb a LOT of stairs to get to the apartment. You need to be in good shape to carry suitcases up to Tomek and Mariana's place.
-The area is fairly noisy even late into the night, and with windows open, you will hear a lot of activity right outside the house. No one was inconsiderate or obnoxious, but it's a late-night kind of place that experiences a lot of foot traffic, both from locals and tourists.
If you can handle these things, this is a completely great place to stay, and the hosts really can't be beat.
