If you want a beautifully renovated apartment in a classic Lisbon building and neighbourhood, this is the place for you. It is exactly like the photos. Super clean and immaculately decorated. Amazingly comfortable beds (perfect for a good sleep after a day of sightseeing). Beautiful windows that swing wide open to brighten the apartment, with shutters that keep the place cool during the day. A wonderful table outside the front door at which to sit, chat over a glass of wine and watch the sun set. Quiet, multicultural, safe neighbourhood, away from the touristy centre and noise. Very quick walk (5 min max) to the closest metro station and the famous Tram 28; and 10-15 min walk to the town centre and intriguing streets of Alfama. Super fast and efficient wifi, even with 5 devices connected.
The apartment is on a hill and up a short flight of stairs, so be prepared to develop your cardio capacity and calf muscles. It's also in an old building with very little insulation, so if there are people in the apartment above, you will hear their walking back and forth very clearly.
Ana and Mariana are excellent hosts. We didn't meet them, but they responded immediately to any questions and/or concerns. They arranged for an airport pick up (take advantage of this service - although you can take the metro from the airport or train station, it might be difficult to find the place on your own) at a very reasonable cost. Maria met us at the apartment and explained everything clearly. We loved our stay and would definitely return in the future.
