Mario’s apartment in the Alfama was such a great place to stay. The check in process was super easy and the host Ciao stayed and gave us great tips for exploring the city and used a city map as a guide. The apartment was in a fabulous and very safe location. Restaurants, shops and cafes right out the front door and a great walking street just out to the right that takes you down to more of the Alfama. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. The place was clean, had a lift and was a good size for two people. It was nice having a separate loft area for the bed. I can’t say enough how much we loved the location and Alfama district. The only thing I wish the apartment had was maybe two more pillows on the bed and a throw blanket for sitting on the couch. Other than that everything was perfect!! The hosts were also super fast with communication and came right over to help when we had a problem with the television. This modern flat was a gem.
