The hosts made us feel very welcome. Henrique was in touch before we flew out booking a cab for us which made the transfer so easy.

He was also on hand whenever we needed for information - where to eat, beaches and sites to see - even where to go to watch the football.

The apartment was very clean and beautifully decorated, as with most things in Alfama is a little small but this adds to its charm.

The restaurant directly opposite is amazing too so that's a bonus. You are in the heart of Alfama here and wandering round the streets in the heart of Lisbon is very enjoyable from this location
