Gonzalo was the best host I had, ever!
He even came to pick us up from the airport on a rainy day and he offered it completely by himself, we were super happy!
We got unlucky with the weather (well, it's December..) so the flat was quite cold. Thanks to Gonzalo's 2 electric heaters we could keep up with it, and the bed sheets were enough to keep us warm. We just wished we could enjoy the small balcony overlooking to the river more, but we saw some amazing sunrises over the water.
Location is great, although not in the center, it is right at the edge of Alfama, 2 min walk to the flea market, also walking distance to the train stn/metro so we moved around quite easily.
As Gonzalo was perfect explaining us all the good locations to eat, visit, walk around etc, we did not have any problem of finding restaurants/shops around. The location is also at the silent side of alfama, so I think it was great.
The only suggestion would be to find a solution for the bathroom floor getting wet from the shower although there is a curtain, may be add some extra towels to use for the floor?
Overall, we highly recommend Gonzalo's place to solo travelers or couples. Such a cool apartment with many treasures of good books and music! (Gonzalo's stereo even had nature sounds you could play.. amazing)
We would go back for sure for days with better weather!
