Sam and Nuno are very open, friendly, and warm hosts! I really appreciated the good,fast, and friendly communication, as well as the warm and flexible reception, not to mention Nuno‘s strong arms 😁 when he generously offered to carry our heavy suitcases up all the stairs! They also even brought us a big bottle of cold beer as a welcome gesture, as it was 38 degrees Celsius when we arrived - very nice! As our flight was late, we arrived a bit later than planned, but I kept in contact with Sam and our later arrival was no problem. The apartment is on the top floor of a typical small old Lisbon house in the wonderful district of Alfama. One should be prepared for lots of stairs, especially the last one ist a bit steep, but that was no problem. Also the apartment is small, but cosy, not fancy, but comfortable, a bit rustic, but with nice artistic touches, very homey. Great location - quiet and yet nearby many sights, train station, bus, tram, and restaurants, etc. Despite the hot temperatures it was bearable and there were two fans in the apartment as well. We enjoyed our stay! Thanks again, Sam & Nuno! Greetings from amanda!
