We were checked into the apartment by Mafalda who was a friend of the host. She was lovely and extremely welcoming! The flat was ready early which was great so we could start exploring! It was lovely and cosy and we were left a lovely bottle of red wine. We did have a few issues.. one was that the hot water did not last longer than 5 minutes which meant that both me and my partner could not shower after each other. As a girl this made washing my hair difficult as this takes longer than 5 minutes! The host did have a look at it but said there was no problem with it.. but clearly there was as 5mins is not long enough! And at times there was a drain smell that wafted through the apartment but would then disappear! The location was great and I loved exploring Alfama and the cute little streets.. overall i don’t think I would stay here again just because of the hot water problem.. the host definitely needs to get this sorted
