We were incredibly impressed with this stay. Everything was in order and the apartment and linens were sparkling clean. José Maria was incredibly responsive during our whole two week stay. He helped us when our flight was delayed by maintaining our reservation and giving us very explicit directions for checking in. In addition, his team freshened the room twice during our two weeks stay, providing us with clean linens, emptying the trash and making the bed. I have never had this service offered in an air bnb and it just made the stay all the more special.
We loved the proximity of the apartment to the goings on in the Alfama. Our room was 3 floors up and overlooked one of the main routes within the neighborhood. The proximity to the restaurants, the bars, the tascas was incredible. Usually things were only a few hundred yards away. I loved observing the daily routines of the residents in the Alfama. The apartment is also a short walk down the hill from the beautiful tiled miradour that overlooks the city of Lisbon and the Tagus River. We were lucky to see the festival of St. Anthony from our windows. The apartment is also in close proximity to the Castle of Sao George, Carmo Convent and other attractions in Lisbon.
This was one of our most memorable stays and we hope to stay with José Maria again.
