Absolutely amazing!
I stayed here with my family of 4 for over a week and we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.
The hospitality shown by Luis is rarely seen anymore. He offered to store our bags and encouraged us to explore Lisbon after we landed. He was proactive in messaging and was always on hand to answer any questions.
His home was as shown in the pictures and comfortably fit our family of 4 with room to spare. The location can not be beaten as it is right in the middle of the old town with great access to public transport (especially the tram 28 that we took everyday), shops, and restaurants. The kitchen was great and we were able to cook very comfortably with all the amenities provided. On arrival, Luis even had drinks and pastel de nata prepared for us to try. Although there was no AC, the fans provided in every room was more than sufficient for us to deal with the 35 degree heat we experienced with tips from Luis that helped us beat the heat. The soundproof windows were a great touch but we found that we didn’t really need it as the area was quiet.
Only thing I would keep in mind is the amount of stairs to get to the apartment. As is with much of Lisbon it is high up with the apartment located on the third floor with quite steep stairs so I wouldn’t say this is accessible but we managed to get up them everyday after some huffing and puffing.
All in all, it was a wonderful experience staying at this home, immersed in the local culture and with friendly neighbours. I would implore you to stay here if you plan to go to Lisbon as it is worth every penny for the price. I would stay here if I am in Lisbon again. Alfama é linda!
