The apartment is situated in the very center of Lisbon, but in quite place. Hosts recommended us several caffe for breakfast which were great and just behind the corner. The house is 7-10 min walk to Santa Apolonia station from where you could take direct train to Porto. Metro is also there, so the district is very comfortable from the point of view of transport connections. From the other hand the apartment itself situated in the heart of Fado district, so you could find many restaurants with Fado very near, but this neighborhood doesn’t make any noise in the night.
On the first floor of the apartment there is a living room with sofa, tv and fire place (it has saved us after getting wet in heavy rain). The room is greatly decorated with many beautiful detail - really a dream picture for Instagram! There is also a kitchen fully equipped, where it is great to spend evenings with a bottle of wine. On the second floor there is a big bedroom with a bed for two and a bathroom and very cosy space between two windows with chair) bathroom could be rather small for big size persons, but for us it was great. And very beautiful, too)
In case of cold there are two powerful portable heating systems, so you could warm yourself in any part of the house. And there are two ventilators (fans) if you feel hot.
The only obstacle was the stairs which is rather difficult especially with the luggage, but we got used soon and faced no problems. Still, be careful.
The hosts are great! Diana is just wonderful! She helped us so much during booking, checking in (after midnight!) and during our stay. She recommended places to visit in Lisbon, transport, restaurants and other things and she helped us with taxi ordering which was great! Thank you so much!
We are really in love with Lisbon and Alfama. Hope to come back soon!
