Thank you, Ana & Rita, so much for sharing your lovely home with us! The views of the river were spectacular and the apartment was so tidy and stylish. The only reason I can't give this place 5 stars is all the stairs - be prepared to climb. a. lot. of. stairs. We underestimated the reviews, and, while we don't regret the choice to stay here at all, we had packed for three weeks in Europe: needless to say that heavy luggage and lots of stairs are not a great combination. That being said, Ana & Rita have done excellently to make this place special and it IS. If you're prepared, you'll probably give this place 5 stars. :)
Side note: This space is in the old city center where cars aren't allowed and it is very hilly with lots of cobblestone, so keep that in mind as well. And on the day we left, there was a taxi strike so we had to engage our tactical skills to get all of our heavy luggage down all them stairs: we deconstructed our luggage into manageable (throwable) pieces and carried these down in waves, then packed everything up in the alleyway. Then, we rolled all of it down the winding slopes to the Santa Apolónia train station without much trouble.
Tip: Fora De Moda (https://goo.gl/maps/V3xAxMawQyT2) had amazing food (octopus and red sangria were to die for!) and live Fado. The breeze off the river as we ate on the terrace with everything else made it magical. Highly recommend!
