Ulrik was a great host, attentive from the minute we booked. He provided us with lots of info about the studio apartment and guides to the city very soon after booking. He also sent followups and reminders just before our arrival. We used Ulrik's directions and found the apartment and key (in easy to use key safe) without trouble. The Alfama neighbourhood is made up of narrow cobbled streets with lots of charm and lots of activity from the nearby restaurants. The apartment name was well chosen as the studio was indeed an 'oasis' in Lisbon. It was very hot during the week of our visit and the studio's bright, clean and comfortable setting was just what we needed when returning after long days of walking the city. The air-conditioning unit kept us cool and the noise from outside never bothered us as the door/window provided excellent soundproofing. We had the best of both worlds. The bustle of Lisbon's old streets on our doorstep and a cool, quiet place to put our weary heads down in the evenings. The only thing that I would mention is that we are non-smokers and smoking is allowed in the apartment, so we were aware of the lingering smell of cigarettes throughout our stay. Unfortunately we weren't able to air it out successfully as there were some bins placed in the courtyard outside the front door of the apartment, that due to the heat were pretty stinky. So we chose to settle for the smell of cigarettes over garbage. We would still recommend Lisbon Oasis as it was very clean well situated.
