If you truly want to be steeped in the rich cultural history of Lisbon and see how the city has lived through the ages, this flat is perfectly located in The Alfama district which has charm, history, and color, and life around every corner. It is also very convenient to everything in city center - we walked everywhere and it was good because we walked off the many delicious pastels and pastries we ate. It is quite hilly in Alfama and Lisbon in general.
If you wish to have the most sincere and gracious hosts, then look no further. Jose’s kindness made a deep impression on us and his love for Lisbon and Portugal enchanted us and taught us many things. Don’t be afraid to ask questions as you will be treated to amazing replies - whether where to eat for breakfast or something cultural. Even down to the transfer service at the airport, we felt truly cared for. We felt our experience with the host team and Jose is a lasting blessing of our trip and truly showed us the warmth and kind-hearted nature of the Portuguese culture. Muito Obrigada, Jose!
