Tha Alfama blue house was an excellent home base to explore Lisbon and neighboring towns such as Sintra and Cascais. The apartment itself was very clean and beautifully decorated in the Alfama district which is very beautiful and colorful. Tons of restaurants nearby with traditional Fado singers seranding the alleyways. Although the winding hills and steps are very beautiful and historic, it will be difficult to traverse for the elderly or families with multiple little kids. We had a 2.5 year old with us and were fine.
Hugo is a great host. He personally met us in the apartment and shared alot of great advice. He was very prompt to respond to questions we had regarding local bakeries/restaurants and sites to see. He also periodically checked in to make sure everything was ok...we highly recommend the Alfama blue house to fellow Airbnb travellers!
