The apartment is amazing and is located perfectly- facing the river and in Alfama. The apartment is even better than the pictures and has everything you need for a vacation. Also they have an excellent hot shower and bed! Sofia wasn't in town so we were met by her partner Catarina- who is really sweet and super helpful. Both Sofia and Catarina were very easy to communicate with and Catarina was in touch with us while we were in Lisbon and gave excellent restaurant recommendations! Yes there is a little underground parking construction in front of the house across the street- but don't worry about noise - it's hardly there and the work stops by evening and doesn't begin till morning. Also it's almost done- they are laying the tiles. We felt very safe and loved coming back to this lovely apartment at the end of the day ! I highly recommend staying here.
