Irina and Ricardo’s apartment was a real gem. Located in the historic Alfama neighborhood, it is surrounded by good restaurants, night life, convenience stores, and the waterfront.
The apartment was clean and comfortable. There are two double doors (one in the living room and one in the front bedroom) that open up so you can listen to the locals chat away throughout the day.
The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own meals, including essentials like salt and pepper, seasonings, various cooking oils, and all the necessary tools you need to clean up too.
There was extra bedding and blankets. A washing machine and two super long laundry lines for drying your clothes outside. There is also a mini library in the living room which is absolutely wonderful.
This apartment really did have everything for us!
Check in was a breeze and Irina made sure we were comfortable and there was nothing extra that we needed while we stayed there.
Two restaurants in the area that we highly recommend eating at are Al FamaRio which has fantastic food at great prices. And if you’re looking for Indian food we also recommend Zaika for delicious cuisine from South Asia.
