We rented two flats from Manuel in Alfama and had an absolutely wonderful stay there. Manuel is the best host you can think of. He is very helpful, friendly, easy to reach and gave us lots of good recommendations to restaurants and interesting things to see, and his flats are just gorgeous. Perfectly situated, very well equipped, beautiful furnitures, lovely bathrooms and stunning terraces. It was also quite special to stay in a 600 years old house, with its thick walls, tiles decoration, beautiful entrance, floors and stairs. The thick walls kept the house cool and comfortable when hot outside. Alfama, with its narrow cobbled streets and lovely atmosphere, was a perfect place to stay for us and a great starting point for our walks around Lisbon. We went there with our closest family, including our two small grandchildren, and it worked great for all of us. After a long day out it was wonderful to relax and gather all of us on the terrace. We would love to come back and deeply recommend the place.
