To anyone visiting Portugal one of the greatest experiences is staying at Chiho and Nuno's flat in Alfama. The location is outstanding for anyone looking to explore Lisbon. Easy access to the train, bus or metro and Chiho is so kind and hospitable that anything you need or want to find, she will make happen.
The flat was very clean and had everything we needed to feel at home during our eleven day stay. I could not imagine being in a hotel for that amount of time, so finding this apartment was the perfect way for my husband and I to relax and have a true cultural experience of being in a neighborhood.
It was wonderful to come home after a day of walking and seeing the sites to a glass of wine on the terrace. The views of the moon over the water were lovely and it was fun to walk through the huge market just up the street on Saturday.
Having accomodations where you can wash your clothes allowed for my husband and I to travel light and as promised everything that you are told will be there actually is there. The photos are just as the flat is, so no surprises when you arrive and there is a good little library on the bookshelf that will help you get around and see all the beautiful things Lisbon has to offer.
Chiho made us feel like family and just knowing she was there to answer questions allowed for us to have a fantastic time. We will be back!
