We really enjoyed our stay at Fadomania's place. Maria was very thoughtful - there to check us in, show is the apartment and check everything was working, which was really reassuring. We were left some printed notes with really useful hints of where to visit and eat, which were great recommendations. We particularly liked Taverna Moderna, just a road away.
The longer we were there the better we realised the location was. It really couldn't have been better! We were around the corner from the bus and tube stop (head towards the docks) which took us anywhere, but were right near lots of great places for drinks and food too. Because the apartment is in the old town, the winding roads and little squares nearby are so charming. It's also right next door to Alfama area, for listening to Fado. It's located very near to the cathedral, from where we got a tuk tuk tour, which we loved (we ended up going drinking with the driver afterwards!)
Being August it was really hot so we really appreciated the big fan in the apartment. It's also in the shade, so not so scorching! The apartment was clean and tastefully decorated. Exactly like the pics. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything you need and we even had bits like coffee and washing up liquid, which we appreciated. I'd say it probably wouldn't be suitable for elderly people or kids because of the quirks: low ceilings and stairs to the shower at the top, but it was perfect for us! Maria and her sister offered to answer any questions we had during our stay and couldn't have been more helpful. Check out was really easy too.
Thank you so much! We highly recommend it to people and hope to come back soon!
Anna and Mike :)
