When you arrive in a new city, in a new country after a long flight followed by navigating to your destination in an unfamiliar language being welcomed into a clean, stylish and comfortable apartment is sure to help establish the possibility for a perfect vacation.
Anna’s place checked all these boxes and more. The apartment was spectacular and I highly recommend it. We were two and I would say the place is perfect for this number of guests unless you are traveling with a child or a friend, companion or partner you love in which case the place would work for three.
The apartment, at the top of several flights of stairs, was clean, beautifully furnished and perfectly situated on the west side of the Alfama district making the center of the city very accessible. You are in the old part of town so your neighbors are close by but this makes it feel all the more like home.
While there are a lot of stairs this provides an introduction to the many many many hills and steps across the city. If you have a disability that limits your physical mobility be warned.
This was a wonderful trip and we will be back. Anna’s place was perfect and I highly recommend it.
