This is an absolutely fantastic apartment right in the heart of historic Lisbon. We were thoroughly impressed by the many amenities including a washing machine, the comfy bed with plenty of pillows and really everything else we needed for cooking and living well. The apartment is pleasantly cool even in the 30°C+ weather of Lisbon, and the many windows and the fan helps get a cool breeze going. At night you can hear the wonderful songs of Fado and the buzzing activity of Alfama - we found it to be incredibly pleasant. However with closed windows, the apartment is near total quiet. Most important for me: The shower is great - strong water pressure, nonstop hot water and very spacious. Additionally, Paulo is a fantastic, uncomplicated and easy to talk to host. Take him up on his offer to pick you up at the airport, he has many helpful pointers and will get you settled in easily! I can fully recommend staying here!
