We stayed for 2 weeks in Patricia and Fernando’s apartment. From the start they were warm and welcoming, and were always available to contact if we needed anything.
The apartment is quaint but big enough to meet all your needs, and comes with toiletries as well as dishware/cutlery/hair dryer/ironing board/first aid kit. The Alfama area where it’s located is near many winding and uphill streets. It all adds to the charm of the stay but be prepared with good shoes and lots of water.
Our best recommendation is to visit the small restaurant ‘ginjinha da se’ in the area of the apartment. We didn’t try their food but it looked delicious (bruschetta and tapas), and they make different mixed drinks with ginjinha which were delicious! Small number of people working there so it can take a little while for service but more than worth the wait. Very relaxing and you can hear various fado singers from other restaurants while you sit there.
If ever back in Lisbon, we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again in Patricia and Fernando’s apartment! Thank you so much for the amazing experience.
