Where do I even begin, Carla and João were amazing hosts, they are communicative, attentive and check in frequently to make sure you have everything you need. The apartment is located on the third floor therefore if you have any mobility issues, this may be a problem. The ceilings are low but that’s part of the charm of staying in the historic alfama district. The kitchen is well equipped and the AC is available on both floors for good temperature control. We had some issues with the shower drainage but Carla helped me troubleshoot it. The piece de resistance is the AMAZING TERRACE, it offers breathtaking views of the Tejo river and cruise ship port. All in all the place was quirky and charming and made for a great first trip to Lisbon. I can assure you we will be back.
