Paolo and Rute were prompt in communication prior to the stay. We felt very welcome when Paolo personally picked us up from the airport and gave us a mini tour of downtown Lisbon, as well as Alfama which he clearly knows quite intimately.

The apartment itself is on the ground floor and located in central Alfama. It is a cosy & comfortable place with a full kitchen if you wish to cook. It's a short walk away from many of the historical sites in Alfama (churches etc) and many fado restaurants, and is a 15-20 minute walk from the main plaza. The front doors of the apartment can be left open to people watch and the neighbours are quite friendly!

We greatly appreciated being able to stay in such a beautiful location & would highly recommend this for those that are holidaying to Lisbon.
