Ana and Ricardo are wonderful hosts! They made excellent suggestions for restaurants nearby (we loved The Corkscrew) and checked in periodically to see if we wanted other recommendations. The apartment is cozy and had everything we needed. We loved the patio and spent our mornings and evenings gazing at the river. We hadn't been to Portugal before, so were happy with the apartment's central location in Alfama, which is very convenient (if also completely taken over by tourists--which is not, of course, the fault of Ana or Ricardo!). Would highly recommend Ana and Ricardo as hosts and would recommend their apartment as a great base from which to explore the amazing country of Portugal.
