Teresa is a very attentive host. She met our parents at the apartment despite the late hour of their arrival, and was also there to welcome us, despite the fact that we only arrived the next day. She showed us everything we needed to know and always offered her help.

The flat is located in the heart of Alfama. The downside of the prime location is the fact that it can get rather loud at nights, especially during the weekends. This in combination with summer heat is a bit of a problem for light sleepers, since keeping the windows closed means that you can't sleep because of the heat, and keeping the windows open means that you sometimes can't sleep because of the noise. That said, we usually were so tired at the end of the day that we managed to fall asleep anyway.

The flat is quite small, but offers enough space for four people to coexist. The living room stands out as the nicest and most spacious part of the apartment. Kitchen and especially toilet / shower are tiny, but serve their purpose. The retro-style furniture and decorations create a cozy atmosphere. We enjoyed our stay.
