STOP! Because you are definitely in the RIGHT place here for your perfect Lisboa-trip. Your charming and soulful host André is an extraordinarily empathic, intelligent and helpful young family man. Communication is more than perfect: After the confirmed booking, he sends you extreme detailed informations about the "getting there" and answers also your individual questions. When arrived, he welcomes you in person and spends more than one hour of his time for tips and special advices for the city. Including a detailed "homegrown" map of Alfama (with the recommended highlights), which you can´t get anywhere else. Result is: you will not tap in touristic-traps. You may always reach him via the apartment-based portuguese cellphone, if you have any question to him or being in trouble.
Important: Anything he promises, will actually work, believe me (including the booking of the (very) early morning-taxi for our departure back to the airport; the car was in time, the driver very friendly - and we paid half the charge (EUR 13,-) than 7 days before when using a less senseful "taxi voucher" of the official airport "tourist office"-counter (EUR 24,-)). Typical André-arranged in fact.

The compact apartment (2 optimum - up to max. 4 persons): Renovated with devotedly architectural love and any requested modern standard - in a medieval house/3rd floor under the roof with amazing views to the opposite located church of Sao Miguel (20 m) and the Tejo-River (est. 500 m). You will be in the very centre of Alfama in a pedestrian zone! Several residents from the near neighborhood use public washrooms for body care and "prehistoric" public laundries with manual washboards in the basement of the opposite "bath house". Orange-trees (with big ripe oranges!) grow near the house. No traffic noise etc. Anything is just around the next corner (Fado-restaurants, groceries, ...) Summary: Maybe the most charming apartment, we ever had for holidays. Thank you very much, dear André - and all the best!

Note: If you are maybe physically disabled: You have to go upstairs (to the 3rd floor) through a narrow staircase inside the house. The bed-aera inside the apartment (above the living-room level) is also to be reached by stairs. The bed-aera-level is designed "open" (what a great design!) - but does therefore not protect very small infants from eventually dropping down to the living-room-level.
