I just came home from a 3 week stay at Ricardos appartment. It has been like a home away from home, clean, modern and cozy. I couldn't have chosen a better place to stay. I am no cook, so I didn't use the modern kitchen facilities, but being able to do ones laundry was a great bonus during such a long stay. The relatively fast internet was a "must" for me. This is a pearl of an appartement. Alfama is so truly charming and I made many new friends. The bakery 2 doors away was a perfect place to have breakfast for a lazy person who cant be bothered with such details ;) The fact that Ricardo met me at the airport made the "travel stress" disappear. By coincidence he had free time when I was returning home to Norway and took me back to the airport. This was by no way part of the deal, but thanx Ricardo for that extra kindness. Wishing You and Your family a Merry X-mas and meany good guests for 2015.
