Staying at Maggie's place was the BEST decision I have made whilst traveling! As a single female, I need a safe place with easy access to all the area has to offer - and Maggie's apartment provided this and SO much more! The size is perfect, with a Murphy Bed that folds up to give you a comfortable sofa on which to relax after a day of exploring. The amenities are that of home - not a single detail has been overlooked. Beautiful matching dishes and flatware, a Krups Nespresso machine (NICE), a lovely tiled shower with a handheld showerhead (great water pressure, btw), matching towels, really good hangers (and plentiful!), tasteful artwork (mostly local scenes) - everything was thoughtfully provided and I truly wanted for nothing! And the location - amazing! I wanted to immerse myself in the culture and live like a native during my short time there, and Maggie helped me do just that; she picked me up at the airport, gave me a brief "scenic tour" which allowed me to acclimate to my new environs, and best of all, she introduced me to the neighbours and shopkeepers and restaurant owners nearby. By my second day, I felt like I was surrounded by new friends! My entire stay gave me such joy and comfort, knowing Maggie looked out for me and for ALL her guests with such care and kindness. I could go on, but better yet, I shall definitely return, not to an AirBnB, but to the apartment of a dear friend, Maggie, who is the HEART of Alfama!
