Words fail to describe this place. It is stunningly designed, and as a lover of fine taste, decor and experience this place hit ALL THE NOTES. the courtyard (the common and the private one, YES - private, beautifully in our living room) was stunning with yellow accent furniture. Everything had a local portuguese feel but in a modern way. A well curated space with easy access to everything in and around alfama. Note the uphill climb but its not a big deal. The check in is easy and the host refers to someone named Olinda to assist in checkins. She is a dream person to greet you with her dog snoopy. Among all airbnbs I have ever stayed at (and thats a lot of them across the world) this is number 1 in terms of design, location, check-in, amenities and all of it.
