Maravilhoso!
Irina and Ricardo’s apartment was perfect in so many ways... comfortable, spacious, clean, safe, in a great location...the list goes on. They communicated quickly, and shared great recommendations for local restaurants (there seemed well over one hundred w/in 500 meters).
Alfama is a special place, and the apartment is perfectly located within the neighborhood. A nearby “town square” with a restaurant and a couple of cafes was a gathering place for locals and tourists alike. Food stores, shops, ATMs, and local transportation (tuk tuk’s) were all within steps. The train station and bus stop were just down the street. The St. George Castle (Castelo de Sao Jorge) was an invigorating walk up the hill.
In our 5 days there, we barely scratched the surface of what the neighborhood, and Lisboa, had to offer.
Obrigado!
