What a special place! First of all, from the time we booked until the time we left, Isabel and Rui were amazing hosts. They helped us with travel arrangements, getting a drive to take us to and from the apartment (which I highly recommend as the place is hard to find the first time and the price for the driver was very much worth it!), explained where to go to find great restaurants, left us maps and guides and answered all of our questions quickly and expertly. Rui met us for the check in and spent lots of time making sure all of our questions were answered and touring the apartment with us. The pictures don´t do it justice. It is extremely comfortable, the bed was amazing, and has everything you need. We cooked and did laundry and felt right at home. We could see the New Years´ fireworks out the skylight upstairs! It is right in the heart of Alfama and we spend hours just walking around. It is very easy to get to the Castle of St. Jorge and many excellent look out points. My husband and I enjoyed staying here very much. We can´t recommend this apartment enough!
