Dear Elena,
Thank you for the use of your delightful Lisboan apartment. The pictures, write up and reviews were 100% accurate. We were unsure of what to expect from Lisbon; only knowing that we wanted to visit. The location and comfort of Elena's apartment combined with the warm welcome from Goncalo immediately made us feel at ease. Situated right in the centre of Alfama's winding streets and narrow staircases, we fell in love with Lisbon within a matter of hours. During our stay we enjoyed acrobatic swallows dancing to the sunrise and sunset, together with incredible views of the river (that would come at a premium rate at a hotel!) Despite Elena being away on residency she was very communicative before and during our visit and made us feel welcome. We will be back to continue exploring and revisit the locals soon! Have already recommended to friends. Thanks again.
