Patricia & Pedro’s place was very nice. A completely renovated apartment in the heart of Alfama. Their communication and willingness to accommodate was top notch. We only stayed in this apartment 1 night as we booked their apartment upstairs for a week and when flight plans changed we needed an additional night, so they put us up in this apartment directly below.
The decor was very stylish and beds were big and comfortable. It’s a long narrow ground level unit below a shared hallway and 2 or 3 other apartments. So you get a little extra noise from foot traffic of the neighbors above, but nothing too major.
We got in fairly late and were happy to find a small bottle of wine with some bread and cheese waiting for us upon arrival. It helped us wind down and kept our stomachs full until we could hit the store in the morning.
Something noteworthy about places in this part of Alfama in general, the streets are rough cobblestone and too narrow for taxis to enter. So you must be able to pull your luggage uphill and into your place from the Main Street below. Luckily for us, we ran into a number of friendly people to help us get our heavy bags up the many flights of stairs.
All in all we enjoyed our stay with Patricia & Pedro and would book their place again without hesitation!
