I can whole-heartedly recommend the flat and the host! After a warm welcome and the delicious pastries and fruit, Omid gave me useful information about Lisbon. The flat is every bit as nice as it seems in the photos, well equipped and very clean! Beautifully but simply decorated. The light in the flat is amazing and is situated right in-front of the sea/river with a direct view from the living room.
The flat is just outside the beautiful heart of Alfama and you can just walk to most of the top attractions of Lisbon. Still this area is not too touristy, it is quiet and safe. Its is a good starting point to discover Lisbon and the surroundings!
It is well-situated, within easy walking distance of the charming Alfama neighbourhood and sights such as the Pantheon, and the monastery of Sao Vicente de Fora: in fact it is quite possible to walk into the city centre from here (about 20 minutes) without having to use public transport, otherwise the metro station at Santa Apolonia is only 3 minutes walk away. Super market at walking distance. Several restaurants nearby as well.
Omid was very easy to communicate with and all the pre-arrival arrangements went really smoothly. I received instructions on how to arrive in the flat, where he welcomed me in person and was available for any questions throughout our stay.
All around a great experience! I couldn't have been happier with this choice and I would certainly recommend it!
