Due to a misunderstanding, we arrived a night earlier that Elsa and her family expected us. Nevertheless, she and her family picked us up at the airport in the middle of the night and offered us a bed in her own appartment. The next day, we were having breakfast and lunch together, they showed us South Lisbon before dropping us off at the AirBnB-appartment in Alfama.
The appartment is ideally situated in the iconic neighbourhood - not too far up to the hill and surrounded by lots of good restaurant and bars. The city centre is easily accessable by foot in ~15 min. The appartment offers more than enough space for 2 people and there is even a washing machine available for doing your own laundry. Although the neighbourhood sounds noisy, it is absolutely quiet after ~11:30 PM, thus, we could sleep every night without any disturbances.
We are very thankful for the hospitality Elsa and her family offered. From the beginning, we were treated like family as well. Her husband and her son have high personal interest in history and culture, so they could tell us many interesting things about Lisbon and Portugal which are not stated in any tourist guide. Really, if you want to have a nice and comfortable stay in Lisbon, this appartment hosted by Elsa and her family is the best choice you can make!
