I have no hesitation in recommending Paula and her beautifully and tastefully decorated apartment.
Paula is the perfect host, contacting us both before we arrived with useful tips for our visit and also greeting us in person when we arrived. Nothing was too much trouble for Paula-she was very attentive to all our needs and was more than happy to recommend places to see in Lisbon and Sintra, as well as local suggesting local restaurants we might like to try.
We loved the apartments quiet location tucked away just above Alfama, with a gorgeous square just 2 mins walk away, perfect for sitting in to eat breakfast and take in the views of the river and the beautiful Santa Engracia, which is literally opposite.
To get to the rest of Lisbon was also easy. A short walk up the hill takes you Graca square where you can catch buses and trams, including the famous 28, which taked you to all the attractions.
Not only this, you get amazing views in Graca over Alfama and can visit the Castelo de Sao Jorge which is within walking distance.
If you're looking for a quiet location away from the crowds right next to beautiful Alfama, this is the perfect place to stay.
