Our stay in Ana’s place in Lisbon was beyond anything that I had hoped for. Views were lovely, the apartment spacious and cleverly arranged, and the location was ideal. Close enough to Apolonia Train station to walk to a major transportation hub, but still hidden away on a tranquil side street.
Ana was very kind, communicated promptly, and was helpful with accommodations that were more than we had expected.
The neighborhood really made our stay. It was arguably one of the most romantic spots in the Alfalma, the oldest neighborhood in the oldest city in Europe. Winding streets and staircases, and quaint restaurants, far enough off the beaten path that one can wander into an establishment late at night, listen to fado over a vinho tinto, and imagine how little the streets have changed over hundreds of years. Alfalma is for lovers.
