The apartment was perfect for exploring Lisbon. Very convenient to many attractions in the city and a great base for just wandering about. Easy access to bus, trams and subway. Walking distance to Santa Apolonia Station made it easy to catch trains to other parts of Portugal. Great bread right around the corner and many cafes, stores and restaurants as well.

The apartment itself was roomy, spotless and well-furnished. Everything was in good working order. The towels and linens provided were nice, and the mattress was very comfortable. The large windows in every room gave a good breeze and light throughout the entire apartment. The Alfama is a very lively neighborhood at all times of the day so it can be a bit noisy if the windows are open. We liked all the activity, but this might not be the place if you like quiet and tranquility. There is a lot of foot traffic around the apartment. We never felt unsafe or unwelcome. The streets are narrow and winding but it was easy and accurate navigating with Google Maps.

Alexandra and Pedro were easy to communicate with through email. They were responsive to questions before the trip and were very easy to coordinate with about arrival and departure. Our flight arrived very early in the morning and Alexandra let us drop off our luggage before the check-in time, which really helped us out. There are luggage lockers at Santa Apolonia Station if you find yourself in the same situation but the drop off can't be arranged.

Overall a great Airbnb experience.
