I had an incredible stay at Gonçalo's place and would highly recommend it to anyone. He is really an incredible host, and he went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and to make sure that I felt comfortable. He was very accessible and I believe that is a particular strength of staying with him. Also, the apartment really was lovely. The stairs were a bit of a workout so anyone who can't climb... but they kept me in shape so I didn't mind at all. The two terraces and the skylights provided a calming view and lovely cross-breezes. Great music selection, working wifi, and nice and spacious place, comfortable kitchen. Great location for exploring Alfama, and for catching the metro, walking to great restaurants, and everything else. Plus, you feel as if you are in an authentic, non-touristy part of town. Best two months ever!
