Filipa's cozy little place was great for me! Right in the heart of the winding medieval streets of the Alfama district, it's next door to the oldest house in Lisbon, which is about 500 years old and survived the 1755 earthquake! And it's a few minutes walk from the sweeping views you can see from the Castle of St George.
You can also walk about 2-3 minutes and see spectacular views of the city and the water at a plaza filled with people and music. There are little shops, restaurants, bakeries just steps outside this Airbnb. There are lots of tourists enjoying the neighborhood but you also feel and see the presence of the everyday life of the Lisboners, right from your little balcony.
The place is immaculate and sunny and felt very festive, right in the middle of things. I slept great and it was nice that the bedroom was in the back, so I could have the best of both worlds. The building has so much old-world charm but the inside has been modernized to make it very comfortable, including good wi-fi.
Filipa was super-communicative and whenever I had a question she responded rapidly.
She generously shared her experience and perspectives from living in Lisbon, and so between staying at her Airbnb and talking together, I felt I got a wonderful introduction to this amazing city.
