It was our first time that we booked an apartment via airbnb and we were so happy about the decision. Elena's warm-hearted and friendly welcome made us feel at home immediately. She explained to us everything we needed to know about the flat and gave us great advice regarding the area and surrounding.
Her flat is so cosy and beautiful and she put so much love on every detail decorating it. After a long and exhausting day discovering the city we were so much looking forward to coming back to that charismatic and cute place. We slept so much better than in a hotel because the bed is comfortable and although the apartment is situated in the heart of Alfama it was really quiet.
The area has lots of nice little shops with typical Portuguese products, nice traditional restaurants and small grocer's shops.
