Maria was very nice to let us check in a few hours early. We really appreciated it! The location for the apartment is perfect for visiting Lisbon. It is close to the market, train station, and restaurants & bars in the beautiful Alfama neighborhood. The apartment was clean, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed for cooking. The only aspect that was unclear was the photo of the outdoor seating area in the posting. There is no outdoor patio or terrace in this apartment. I would suggest this apartment mainly for the location.
