The giraffe house was clean and in a great location. The area was very lively with lots of bars and restaurants. The windows don’t appear to be sound proof as we could hear people outside talking at all hours - but that’s part of being in a lively area. It was great to wander around and soak in the atmosphere! We walked almost everywhere as it only took about 20 minutes to get to the waterfront and the Alfama district. Ubers to and from Belem were a reasonable price. While in Belem we would highly recommend Pastes de Belem for a pastry called Pastes de Nata. There was a line but it went pretty quick and was worth it! Cristiana was easy to communicate with and gave very clear directions for our self check in. Thank you Cristiana for sharing your charming apartment with us!
