These hosts are available and local. The apartment is kept clean and fully stocked with so many things I felt I had overpacked. For instance outlet changers, a metro pass, even a hand held blender which helped us for making home made baby food for my infant daughter. I travelled with my mother and 7 month old and we were given a pack and play, use of an umbrella stroller and even a larger stroller and car seat if we were to need it (we didn’t because we had to pack ours for traveling through the airport) and the neighborhood is quite beautiful. The view from the rooms are as wonderful as they seem. It is light at airy and the sofa bed was actually very very comfortable. There is a large flea market that happens every Tuesday and saturdsy. Please don’t miss it! It’s just at the bottom of the slipping street and has so much beautiful art and all kinds of treasures you will find are even better than a souvenir shop could offer. Don’t miss the miradouro. Local eats are some of the best and the market/ grocery stores offer anything you need and very affordable. Alfama is an old neighborhood and a walk through (and up and down it’s hills) will transport you to fado era. In fact you may even feel as though you are time traveling as the houses and streets while very maintained are some
Of the oldest. Complete with azulejo. Lisbon is so charming and felt very safe. Our home away from home was one more thing I’ll never forget about our time there.
