Fantastic apartment in the wonderful, peaceful Alfama neighbourhood. Perfect for a couple - the apartment's not huge, but brilliantly laid out and the space is cleverly designed to make use of every inch. Alfama is mostly car free - but it's still amazingly quiet at night. We slept so well! There are many local restaurants, but any sound doesn't seem to travel through Alfama's narrow rabbit warren streets. Three apartments lead off the communal courtyard - but plenty of room to all use the outside space - and having the apartment's door beyond a separate door to the courtyard makes it feel very safe. (Not that Lisbon is a dangerous city anyway!) Joana and João were super friendly and easily contactable. We never actually met them! But everything was set up to make that unnecessary (door codes, pictures and clear instructions all sent well in advance). And they checked in frequently to check all was OK, without us asking! Fantastic stay, excellent apartment, and great hosts!
