Mariza and Diogo's Alfama apartments are perfect for a visit to Lisbon, especially if you wish to stay in quite a romantic, traditional and rustic setting. The apartments sit in the middle of hilly Alfama, and have good transport links if you walk five minutes towards the port, which links you to Chiado, Barrio Alto and further. There is a small shop around the corner, and a larger one 10 min away. There are lots of coffee shops and restaurants nearby, we'd recommend Copenhagen Coffee Lab.
The apartments are clean, well decorated, comfy and come equipped with everything you need. There is a gorgeous courtyard space, shared with other visitors which is perfect for breakfast and if you wish to cook from the accommodation sometimes. The only thing that would have been better is air conditioning, but a large fan was provided.
The hosts made us feel welcome from start to finish, communicating in advance and organising affordable transfers to from the airport in unsociable hours with their driver, Bruno, who was very friendly and full of recommendations. Diogo checked in to make sure all was okay, and if we needed anything during our stay, which was really appreciated.
My partner and I stayed at this listing for 8 days, and so we'd strongly recommend this property, and Mariza, Diogo and Bruno for any long or short stays in Lisbon.
