Upon our arrival, Joanne personally greeted us and explained the workings of the apartment and gave us tips on getting around and where to eat. It was the most personalized greeting a host has ever given me.
The apartment is in the thick of the active Alfama district and I’m a light sleeper, so I was worried I’d have trouble sleeping, but the layout puts the bedroom at the quiet end of the house where it’s high above the city and actually quite peaceful yet light and airy.
The architecture and surroundings offer a unique space that transports you back centuries—while maintaining a modern clean interior and amenities.
I’d definitely stay here again!
