As others have written, don’t look further, just book this place! I spent the month of March here and enjoyed every moment in this comfortable flat in the heart of Alfama. The location is wonderful with easy access to buses, the metro and the vibrant waterfront. I walked all over Lisbon from here. Being high up, facing east and south, and double doors opening on two balconies means the place is filled with views and light. I am an active 68-year-old and the 35 stairs up to the apartment weren’t a problem for me, nor were the clever stairs up to the loft bedroom. You will not find a warmer more responsive host than André. He’s a great communicator and was sincerely interested in my welfare. As a woman traveling alone I knew he would have my back should I ever have needed help. As it was, I felt entirely safe in Alfama and had nothing but lovely experiences in Lisbon. Enjoy the church bells, lively neighborhood conversations, and the shimmering Rio Tejo - all from your windows. Thank you André. Your place is magic.
