The apartment is cozy, well maintained and the three bedrooms create enough privacy for everyone. Andre is warm, friendly and extremely helpful. He let us drop out bags off early while people cleaned the apartment, then met us at the agreed upon time and spent over an hour talking to us about bike routes outside of Lisbon. He leaves maps and suggestions for you, and checks in to make sure everything It is OK
Our only concern is the location. There are pros and cons. It is located in the heart of Alfama, only a couple of blocks from the waterfront. It made getting in and out of the city easy and is close to many museums. There are a ton of restaurants open late with Fado singers and beautiful cobblestone streets snaking throughout the neighborhood. However, the touristy nature of Alfama become annoying after a couple of days and loses its charm.
Overall, a great stay and a great value.
