Sofia’s place is perfectly located in Alfama near restaurants, shops, and a whole lot more. It is tucked away in a charming alley that is like stepping back in time, and waking up to hit town was perfect, as everything was close. It is also conveniently located near different metro lines and trams, as well as a short walk to the major areas to visit in Lisboa. The place has great WiFi, quick hot water, a great shower, and a kitchen with everything you’d need. Perfect for a couple or solo for a week or so in Lisbon or longer exploring.
What takes Sofia’s place above and beyond is the level of care she has for her guests. During my trip, I was recovering from a surgery, and suddenly had a bad infection which required a week of hospitalization. I reached out to Sofia, and she came to the hospital (on a Saturday!) grabbed the keys, packed my things for me, and brought them to the hospital along with some chocolate. I was traveling from the US and knew no one in town, and it was like having family right in the same city. I cannot recommend her as a host enough, and if you book any of her listings, I can assure you will be welcomed and taken care of above and beyond! I will definitely be booking with her again when I go to Lisbon!!
