5 star host! Marco's place is a great location as it sits between the airport (roughly 15 min) and Alfama (another 10-15 min). The neighborhood has charm, but note if your noise sensitive things don't quite quiet down until 11-midnight (barking dogs, neighbors slamming/opening doors inside the building, street noise). Marco's hospitality is by far one of the best I've experienced. He checked in with us to see how our stay was and if we needed anything. He was incredibly responsive and helpful. Even giving us local directions & food recommendations. The place is clean and the shower is hot! The A/C works phenomenally - even better than most hotels! The location is just a 5 min walk to the nearest Metro/train station which I definitely recommend using. It's safe to walk around at anytime of the day/night. This place is great for families and people are right about the stairs so make sure you pack light and be prepared to walk and trek up some steep hills. Make sure you view the listing well and are aware about the arrangement of the beds & bathrooms inside of the place. For two adults or more the main floor has the larger bedroom and bathroom and the daybed. The second level has the pull out couch and smaller bathroom. If you're good w/ this then don't delay book now and make sure you go to Sintra & Cascais!
