Location: The apartment of Sam is located in Alfama, the old neighborhood of Lisbon. In my opinion this is the most beautiful romantic and nostalgic part of the city. By staying in this apartment your only 3-5 min removed from the final stop of the blue metro line + one of the train stations and on walking distance from all the touristic highlights in the alfama area. (Places like Castelo the Sao Jorge, Se Cathedral and the Panteo National, this area also has a lot of beautiful viewpoints.) The travel time from and to the airport Humberto Delgado takes about 1 hour. During the day there was a lot of construction noise from the neighborhood, but during the night it was quite and silent. Although the apartment is in the Fado hart, when you are in your bed you hear nothing from this. There is also no airplane sounds, which other places in Lisbon will have. Contact: Although Sam was in Brazil during our visit the contact through WhatsApp was quick and easy. Her friend Jonny who welcomed us in the apartment has also been very nice to us. At a certain point we had some problems with the Wifi and Sam contacted the provider as soon as possible and the next day the problem was solved. My plane left late on the evening on the departure day. Sam was flexible in letting me leave my luggage in the apartment just before the new guest arrived. This was really convenient for me. So if you have similar problems just discuss these with Sam and as I have noticed she will think with you for a solution. Recommended to do: Sam also has a list with activities and restaurants that are worth checking out. Ask for it when you contact her it is very useful. We went to the restaurant of David (called do Vigario) it is just a 200m walk away from a lovely and delicious hipster experience, also recommended for not hipsters ;) We also went to Cruzes Credo, where a modern version of Portuguese food is served for a perfect price. The visit to the suburb Sintra is also mentioned on the list. I can recommend this to everyone. To be honest I think our visit to Sintra has been more wowing and spectacular than our entire visit to Lisbon city. If you have the possibility try to got there. You can get there by using the train station that is only 5 min removed from the appartement. (Going to Oriente or Braca Prada and switch there to the train going to Sintra. Travel takes about one hour going there, but that is more than worth it!) Especially in wintertime, when you can see the sunset from the castle, it is absolutely amazing. The apartment: The appartement looks like the pictures posted online. The rooms are connected in one line. Bathroom - living room / kitchen - bedroom. Both beds (the one in the living room and the...
