Roberta, Gianluca and Adriano were wonderful hosts. Communication leading up to our stay was very good and we received replies very quickly. Check-in was flexible and they were willing to work with us on when to meet. We met right outside the Fado museum which was about 2-3 minutes away from the apartment. Adriano did a great job of showing us around the apartment and even took the time to draw out on a map all the best places to see, restaurants to eat at and mentioned some very helpful tips for tourists.

The apartment is extremely charming and in a very nice location. It is a short walk from the train station (Santa Apolonia) which is very useful in getting to and from the airport. This station also has a supermarket and a locker for luggage which was super easy and inexpensive to use. The apartment was in the heart of Alfama and there are great places for Fado music. We went to Sr. Fado which is just up the street from the apartment and they had great food, wine and music and was run by a lovely couple who were also the Fado musicians. There is also a lovely older woman in the building that sells homemade ginja downstairs for a euro. It was absolutely delicious. Her portrait also hangs on a building that can be seen as you walk up to the apartment so our impression of her is that she's a bit of a local legend.
The apartment itself was very clean and comfortable. The bed was very nice and the bathroom was clean. There are two big doors in the living room that open up and you get nice views of the water as well as a very cute pigeon that likes to sit in the neighbor's flower pot all day. The living spaces and kitchen area were also very nice and there was a tv available with cable. All in all it was a great place to stay.
Unfortunately, we had made the tough decision to cut our trip short due to the COVID-19 outbreak BUT THE KINDNESS OF OUR HOSTS REALLY SHOWED through during this tough time. We left Portugal with very short notice and with two nights of our trip remaining. Our hosts graciously refunded us for these two nights which is more than we could have wished for as we left the apartment quite late that day. We cannot thank them enough as we are students and saving this money helped cover the cost for the flights we had to book to get home as our airlines were not as forgiving.
I would recommend this airbnb to all of my family and friends looking to visit Lisbon and we hope to come back to finish our trip eventually and we will definitely be booking the Alfama Pearl.
