An amazing apartment in the centre of an up and coming Alcantara. Paulo made our whole stay as welcoming as anyone possibly could. Very respondent when we were checking in and gave us a local tour to help us find the supermarket, tram/ bus stops and the train stations. He also gave us ideas of places to visit during our stay. He was more than helpful on our final day giving us later check out, even offering to look after our luggage so we could get the most out of our last day in Lisbon, dropping us off to our next destination. We would highly recommend choosing Paulo as your host as he's very easy going and looks out for the best for your stay to make it that extra special.
When we first went through the small narrow roads to get to the apartment we were a little hesitant as to what our place would look like due to the older buildings in the village, some looking a bit unloved. We were dropped at the steps to get to Paulo's place, and with a newly built door with high security coded access we were immediately reassured not to judge a book by its cover. When we first stepped into the apartment we honestly thought it was too good to be true. All newly furnished and decorated in a nice modern fashion. The kitchen had everything you'd need to cook meals at home. The bathroom/ shower was to a great standard with a nice walk in shower and extra towels. The bedroom was a great size with built in wardrobes that had both hangers and both his & hers chest of drawers giving you more than enough space. There is a small patio that leads out from the bedroom to enjoy the early morning sun, with shutters that keeps your room nice, cool & dark for the odd lazy morning to recover from some local amazing food, cocktails & sangria.
Overall we are fully satisfied with our first trip to Lisbon and will highly recommend the area and Paulo's place to all, so you can experience the amazing time we had in this beautiful city.
