This lovely apartment was exactly as described. Communication with Sara and Paulo was excellent, they readily answered all our questions. Check-in was easy, Paulo kindly waited for us to arrive as our flight was delayed.
He gave us many useful pieces of information which made a difference to our stay.
The location was excellent, in a lovely location above the city where we felt we were mixing with locals. A pop video for a Portugese musician was being shot in the street behind the apartment one day! There were many places to eat locally, a mix of traditional and modern Portugese and it had a hip,young vibe at one end of the
square. A roughly 15 minute walk downhill brings you to the centre via Alfama. Flat shoes are a must as you will walk everywhere and some of the paths are narrow. I imagine it could be slippery in the rain- then I would use Ubers to get around. We found them very handy.
The apartment was very tastefully decorated, spotless, excellent WiFi and the TV can stream Netflix which was a bonus! It was also quiet,and the lovely terrace was great for relaxing in the sun with our books.
in conclusion, I can heartily recommend this apartment and I am a little jealous!
We would love to return.
