Everything Was Perfect!
Christel was responsive, thorough and a pleasure to deal with at every step. The directions were perfect (very unusual!) and an easy 5-minute stroll from the Fado Museum.
No worries about coordinating the arrival as there was a code to get into the building and keys in a lockbox at the door of the flat. Couldn't be easier!
The place itself was great. In the middle of Alfama, where I wanted to be but very quiet at night. Great bed. Great shower. Great air-conditioning. And the kitchen was well-stocked although I was only here for five days and I didn't eat in the flat even once.
I came to love the neighborhood and quickly found my favorite cafes, bars and restaurants. 8-minute walk to catch the 28 tram to visit other neighborhoods and a major train station about a 10-12 minute walk. In other words, a great location.
When I return to Lisbon and I definitely will, I will make sure I plan the dates around the availability or this flat. Great stay!
