A wonderful apartment in an ideal location!
Pauli’s place is located up the hill, right next to St George’s Castle and Alfama. These areas are lovely as they have nice restaurants but it’s a bit removed from the centre so it’s not swarming with as many tourists. As others have said, the climb is steep so not suitable for people who have mobility issues.
The apartment is so cute. You have lovely views out of the front and back. The living room is perfect with the beautiful iron balcony. The dining room is beautiful and a good size. The bedroom is small but doesn’t need to be bigger really. Very comfortable bed! Make sure you bring earplugs as we had some very loud shouting/groaning and thumping coming from upstairs at 4am. It was fine once we had earplugs.
Bathroom was nice and clean. There is showergel provided and a hairdryer. You will need shampoo etc.
Kitchen is gorgeous and very handy for what we needed. There is a filter jug in the fridge for water and coffee capsules provided. You will need wineglasses and a corkscrew. We weren’t strong enough to pull out the cork. The kitchen has an amazing balcony overlooking the hill and the water. It is simply breathtaking! We couldn’t get enough of this!
This apartment is the perfect oasis and base to explore the city. We I’ll never forgot the amazing weekend we had at Paulo’s place. Thank you!!!
