We really enjoyed our stay at Marco's place. The apartment itself is relatively small to modest in size but incredibly functional, well laid out, nicely furnished, full of character and very clean. Prefect for two people.

The location is also fantastic, with beautiful views, delicious food and a lively atmosphere and nightlife in the Alfama district. Despite this, it is relatively quiet at night and safe. We couldn't have been happier with it.

Marco did a wonderful job of making sure we had all the information we needed, even though we wasn't around during our stay. The friends who gave us the keys wer very friendly and accommodating. He answered emails promptly and even provided us with a list to places to eat and sights to see.

My only compliant, and this is probably subjective to a certain degree, was the bed/mattress. I found that the springs dug into my back in places. I ended up sleeping on the couch a few nights because of this.

All in all, we love it though and would certainly stay again and recommend it to others.
