Vicente is the best host! He was extremely generous with his time and made the stay wonderful.
The apartment is something of a miracle. Every window has a jaw dropping view, even above the toilet. If this was an apartment in Rome with the same types of views, you would either be staying with Sophia Loren or paying $1,000 a night minimum. The decor is hip/modern/stylish. There are challenging aspects to the apartment. The interior is oriented vertically, so you will be going on stairs a lot. The apartment itself is also on a hill. Moreover, all of Alfama in Lisbon is on a hill so you will be getting lots of exercise. We actually enjoyed that you have to "work out" for all aspects of the city. Also, ask Vicente about the parking. It is not easy to drive up the apartment, but it is possible. Also, the spot next to apartment is not free anymore, but Vicente went to lengths to find us other parking arrangements. Bottom line is that the challenges are not terrible and the apartment is one of the best we have ever stayed in when visiting Europe. Highly recommended if you want rare, amazing memories! You won't regret choosing this home.
