Maria was a warm, reliable and available host. We loved the thoughtful touches in the apartment, like the charging ports and the bottle of wine/water in the fridge, and the cosy and beautifully designed layout. The Alfama neighbourhood is also an excellent location with many shops/cafes nearby and easy access to public transport. The only challenge was navigating up the steep cobbled roads with our huge luggage bags, but the house made the hike up worth it.
