Absolutely a wonderful stay in Lisbon. The location is AMAZING! Alfama is beautiful and full of delicious food and beautiful sights. Ana was a fantastic host and we couldn't sing her enough praises.
Some notes before you go (which you definitely should go! Book it now!)...
-STAIRS- There are lots of stairs to reach the apartment, and then narrow stairs to get to the apartment door. The stairs to the bedroom are narrow and and steep.
-COOKING- If you plan to cook, there are pots, pans, plates, cookware and utensils, but not a lot of workspace so you have to get creative.
-WIFI-The wifi was actually very good for the area, but we did run into issues during video chats. We never had problems streaming videos, though, which was great! Much better than expected!
-TRANSPORT- Easy access to public transportation. Santa Apolonia station is a 3 minute walk downhill from the apartment and there is a bus stop, a metro station, and a train station all in one spot. Plus a grocery store! Very convenient!
-AC- The air conditioning unit is in the loft/upstairs bedroom and works very well. Temperatures were pretty mild during our stay but it got hot a few times and the AC worked well. There is no AC downstairs, but there is a fan that works great, and the windows on either side of the apartment help a lot with air flow.
It's a tight space, and the building is old, but this is the best Airbnb I've ever stayed in when you factor in the fantastic host, fantastic location, and cute as can be apartment. Thank you, Ana, so much! * * * * *
