We are so glad we booked Carolina’s place in the heart of Alfama. It’s such a vibrant, authentic neighborhood and was a great place to start our first time in Portugal.
The apartment is spacious and accommodating. We loved the thoughtful touch of the bottle of wine, pate, and crackers that were awaiting us. The shower pressure and temperature were perfect, which is something I always hope for in rentals.
The neighborhood stays lively and noisy until about 11:30 on Friday and Saturday and 10ish some weeknights, so just be aware if you are a light sleeper or go to bed early. We appreciated the fan in the bedroom to help muffle the noise and keep it cool (there’s AC too).
Overall, we’re glad we booked Carolina’s place!
