Rita was a wonderful host. She communicated with us often and frequently. At the apartment she has a guide of local tips and texted us restaurant recommendations upon our arrival-the pizza place she recommended was superb! The apartment was welcoming and felt like home (welcoming gift, comfy couch with throw blanket, tea and coffee in the kitchen etc.)The bed was so comfortable that my boyfriend and I both overslept our alarms the one morning! The apartment is in Alfama and close to many of the popular sites. It is also within a 10 min walk to the train station which enables you to get anywhere in the city or outside of the city. I highly recommend this apartment to visitors—we enjoyed our stay very much.
