Hugo’s apartment is in a great location in the Baixa/Alfama district. It’s close to the Praça do Comércio, which has bars and restaurants, as well as the main town.
The flat won’t suit those with mobility issues, as it’s up five flights with narrow stairs. We’re both fit and still found it a struggle, especially with our large suitcase.
Hugo and Idalia are great communicators, and messages were always responded to immediately. We were allowed to check in early, which we were grateful for.
The flat is spacious and comfortable, but we found it hot at night time, even with the air con.
It has a lovely rooftop space, with space for seats, but it doesn’t get evening sun due to the surrounding buildings.
Overall we would recommend Hugo’s place for its location and the friendliness of the hosts.
