We absolutely loved our stay at Ricky’s apartment in Alfama! The pictures and full description here on Airbnb describe it really well and in detail.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor and is super clean, it has everything you might need and more, it’s very tastefully decorated and maintained and it’s probably in the best and most strategic part of Lisbon. I totally recommend it. It’s perfect for a couple and, although it’s right in the middle of the buzzing quarter of Alfama (so you’re 2 mins walk from restaurants and fado bars), it’s very quiet at night. It’s got a fully equipped kitchen and the shower water is perfect. The lounge is very spacious, bright and airy and the bedroom upstairs is cosy and peaceful.
Ricky was extremely nice, approachable and very available to reply to all our questions via whatsapp before and during our stay. He gave us the keys in person on our arrival and all our communications with him were very easy, courteous and prompt. He gave us priceless advice on what to see and where to go to eat and drink. He gave us a map where he pinpointed the best restaurants, bars and miradouros for the best views in town. He explained how the transport system works and where to buy tickets/recharge the travel card. He even booked us a driver to take us back to the airport (which is only max 20 min away, so it’s super convenient). I would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to experience Lisbon at its best and I would love to come back one day soon! Muito obrigada Ricky! :)
