We could not have asked for a better home base for our trip to Lisbon. Paula was very sweet and responsive. The house is so cozy and charming. We opened the doors to the balcony and spend a lot of time in the front room looking out over the water. The apartment is a story higher than the neighbors so you get so much sunlight and a view and breezes. There are lovely touches everywhere around the apartment. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an authentic apartment in Alfama (and who is up to walking the hills and steps of the neighborhood). Thanks Paula!
