Staying at Miguel’s place was a perfect way to get initiated to Lisbon
The neighborhood had lots of character and good variety of restaurants just down the street. The apartment was an oasis.
It was well equipped. the bed was very comfortable and
I Loved sitting on the terrace with a wonderful view of part of Alfama as well as the river. Sometimes it was tempting to just stay there rather than explore, but I managed to do both.
As mentioned in other reviews there are a lot of steps and they are steep, but knowing this ahead of time was helpful. Communication and check in could not have been easier. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
