Maria João & Filipe house is fantastic. It is the perfect place to stay if you want to be in the thick of it all in the beautiful Alfama district: a stone's throw from the Castle, lovely local pubs/restaurants with great local food. Maria made us fell so welcome and gave us some amazing local tips that the average tourist wouldn't know. House was spotless and had all mod cons. Maria João & Filipe were really helpful before and during our stay and myself and Brian would highly recommend to our friends and family to stay here.
