Hi everybody,
the description of the apartment reflects the reality. It is cosy, well decorated and clean. There are all appliances you might need for your stay. The view and the light from the window facing the river is priceless.
We didn't meet Teresa but she was very nice with us. One week before our arrival she sent me via mail 2 documents with information about how to reach the apartment and ideal itineraries to visit Lisbon and tips where to eat, where to go. We appreciated that a lot! Thank you again Teresa. She is quick in replying to the mails, so whatever you need to ask her, she will get back to you soon. We had a late flight and we checked in at 00.30 but no problem Susana (from a travel agency) welcomed us with a smile. This service will cost you 20 euros more. To reach the apartment we caught a taxi from the airport (go to the departures entrance), it took 15 minutes and costed only 14 euros. But you can also go by metro with one change (45 minutes). The location is super! Alfama is the centre of the Lisbon tradition and history. Just the street behind the apartment there is the best Fado restaurant called Mesa de Frades. We went there around h23 to drink a ginginja and listen to some Fado songs. Very touching! The metro stop Santa Apolonia is very close and you can reach whatever point of the city. If you take bus 728 you can go to the Oceanario and Vasco de Gama bridge (east side) or in the opposite direction to Belem (west side), the stop is Mosteiro dos Jerónimos.
In 20 minutes walk instead you can get to the main square Praca do Comercio.
Finally "Casa do Beco" is FULLY RECOMMENDED :-)
