We loved our stay at Isabel's place in Alfama! This is a beautiful area, full of maze-like alleys, great restaurants and outstanding views of Lisbon. The location couldn't have been more amazing.
Isabel kindly meet us at the Fado Museum, a central location, even though we ran an hour late due to a delayed flight. This made the logistics very easy.
We didn't spend much time in Isabel's place because the neighborhood and city are so incredible, we wanted to explore as much as possible. However, it was very charming, clean, and we had everything that we needed. Some reviews mentioned the heat, but this didn't bother us. Lisbon in the summer months is hot and air conditioning isn't common - if this is an issue you should probably stay in a hotel or pick another destination. The bed is very comfortable and with the fan we slept very well. Isabel's place is walkable to most of the attractions in Lisbon and is right around the corner from Santa Apolonia Station, which is very convenient if you are travelling to Coimbra or Porto, as we were.
Isabel's place is truly special and you should book it for an amazing experience in Portugal.
