Maria João and Filipe’s apartment was wonderful! We wanted to be in the historic Alfama neighborhood - yet still in an accessible location - the apartment was a short walk away from public transportation, the Santa Apolonia train station, and Praca do Comercio. Maria João and Filipe were very communicative, their check-in instructions were super clear, and they let us check in early since the previous guests had already left. They welcomed us with a bottle of wine to enjoy, cookies and tea. The apartment was quaint and clean; we liked using the espresso machine in the morning, and the tiny stovetop was enough to cook eggs for breakfast. The only minor issue was that the shower would quickly run out of hot water, and my husband had a wait a bit for it to heat up again before he could take his shower. Maria João and Filipe provided a folder of suggestions of restaurants and things to do - these were great since we wanted to find places that locals frequent. My husband and I would recommend this cozy apartment to any couple wanting to stay in the Alfama neighborhood!
