Both Miguel and the flat were fantastic. Though we didn't meet him in person, Miguel was a very attentive host throughout the process - quick to answer questions before departing, keen to offer help and support once we arrived and swift in responding to our emails once we had settled in.
The flat itself was a delight - its main draw for us being its ideal situation in the heart of Alfama, immersed in a village-like atmosphere but only a 10-15 minute walk from the city centre. Transport links are also optimal - 5 minutes from a metro and overground station and 1 minute from the famous tram no. 28 route.
Inside the flat, everything was clean, well presented, in good condition and generally easy to settle in to and make feel like home for a bit. Though the space available isn't vast, it didn't feel cramped or suffocating.
It was a little chilly when we arrived, but warmed up pretty soon once we turned the heater on.
All in all, it was the perfect base for a couple on a budget in Lisbon.
