Joao & Carla's place is in a perfect location right in the heart of Alfama, Lisbon. We were fortunate to visit during the Festival of Saint Anthony (Sardine Festival). The apartment was a very close walk to the festivities, bars and restaurants but far enough that we had no trouble with the noise. Joao & Carla kept great communication with us and were even able to check us in early for our stay which was very much appreciated given we were traveling with our young son. The place was clean and bright. We even forgot a pair of AirPods on our way out and Joao & Carla were able to locate and mail them to us - thank you! A small door and narrow staircase is all you must navigate to access this perfectly located apartment. We recommend you use a taxi (not Uber) as they have special access to the resident only streets and can get you very close to the apartment with only a small walk to access. Thank you Joao & Carla for a wonderful stay! We very much enjoyed our stay in Lisbon!
