Maria's apartment is a charming, comfortable step into history. She's done everything to preserve the historical components of the space while make the flat quite livable. I very much enjoyed my stay, made even better by Maria herself. She generously explained the apartment and neighborhood -- taking time out of a lazy Sunday morning to walk me around the Alfama. As a passionate learner and teacher of history, she was able to give me a new perspective on a town I already love. Thank you, Maria. I look forward to staying in your wonder place again sometime soon.
