Joanne and Ricardo’s house looks so great in pictures that we are happy to report that the apartment is even better in person. Quiet, clean, and comfortable, yet right in the middle of the Alfama, and a quick walk (with hills) to almost anywhere in the central city area.
One nice bonus is that Joanne is a wonderful, engaging person. Hopefully you will get to meet her and hear her ideas about Lisbon and Portugal. We really enjoyed talking with her. Once checked in, she respects your privacy, and is very quick to answer e-mails after you check in. The Alfama is the oldest neighborhood in Lisbon, and it shows its age in some respects. But when we return, we will return to Joanne’s— it is a perfect base from which to explore Lisbon.
