Our stay at João and Carla's apartment was wonderful! Their apartment is in a very beautiful part of Lisbon and they made us feel at home. Rita was waiting for us on arrival with a bottle of wine and some food items and they had lists of suggestions for local restaurants and things to do. Alfama is a fantastic suburb to stay in and easily accessible to public transport which we used the majority of the time. We relied on taxis and ubers when arriving and leaving due to our amount of luggage, however these drivers didn't know where they were going and it ended up taking longer than expected, causing some frustration. The small issues at the apartment were fixed very quickly and João and Carla were very helpful when we needed assistance with contacting car hire people etc. Rita was also helpful in that she came in the uber with us to direct the driver out of Alfama.
