If you are someone who appreciates staying in an authentic Lisboan house, then look no further than Tania's lovely home. It's located in Alfama, which is one of the oldest areas in Lisbon, very near the Castello St Jorge. The apartment is situated on the second floor of the building and the entry is through two sets of steep stairs. We had some help from Daniel, who checked us in with our heavy suitcases but if you are not one for carrying your luggage up the stairs then you might find this challenging.
The place was very clean and well equipped with everything you might need for a shorter or longer stay. It is situated only one street away (by walk up the hill) from a lookout and Graca, where there is a mini market, a number of bakeries, pharmacy and a couple of lovely traditional restaurants. We walked pretty much everywhere and utilised Uber for trips back home. Taxis and Ubers are very cheap in Lisbon and after a big day walking, it is a good idea utilising them as the walk back to the apartment is up some steep hills :-)
We had a great time and felt like locals living in Tania's lovely home. We would recommend this place to our friends and family.
