I stayed at Lisbon Arcos for one month and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It was really my home away from home. The apartment was very nicely decorated and felt homely. All rooms including the bathroom were spacious. The kitchen is modern and includes a coffee machine! The bedroom was spacious and comfortable. The apartment also has a lot of natural light. There is wifi access, cable tv and a dvd player. Juan also supplied some nice dvds and cds.

Juan welcomed me with traditional pasteis de natas and a supply of fresh apples and plums which were much appreciated. As I was staying for a month Juan even arranged to install a washing machine which made life easier. Juan was always attentive in responding to my requests. A solution was always promptly found.

The apartment is centrally located in Alfama and walking distance to most of Lisbon's attractions. Alfama itself is a great place to stay. You literally see life unfold on the streets around you. It's the home of fado. Alfama is Lisbon's Arabic/Moorish area. A labyrinth of tangled alleys, squares and narrrow terracotta-roofed houses. It was sad to leave but I'll be back!
