We spent 2 nights in Joao and Monica's beautiful apartment in the heart of the historic Alfama district. The apartment was spotless and full of light, with a lovely terrace and views of the water from the kitchen balcony. Joao met us at the nearby Museum of Fado, helped us with our luggage, and spent more than an hour giving us tips on the area, showing us around, and driving us to a market he recommended for lunch. He is a fantastic host!! We also appreciate the bottle of wine and box of pastries he left for us. Our time in Lisbon was too short, and we hope that we can return someday and stay here again. Thanks Joao!!
