There are three reasons why this apartment is perfect for a trip to Lisbon:
1. The view
2. The hosts
3. The location
The apartment is perched high atop the hillside which I gives you a fantastic view out across the terra-cotta roofs of Lisbon and beyond to the sea. You get some fantastic views of the sun rise each morning which make the price of the apartment worth it.
The second reason why you should rent this apartment is because the hosts are so lovely. They're both super responsive if you have questions and they even made a helpful little guide of Lisbon when we arrived.
The last reason why this apartment is so perfect is because of the location. While the apartment is a little bit on the small side, It's right in the heart of the Alfama neighborhood which has loads to do and see. It is one of the older more beautiful parts of town. Tiny medieval cobble stone streets, old churches, a castle and loads of fantastic views. There's even a cute little old trolley that takes you up to the top of the hill that the neighborhood is built on. The neighborhood is famous for its Fado music. A type of music that is categorized by Portuguese guitar and beautifully longing vocals. If you have your windows open at night you can hear the wind carrying the sound of Fado music from all over the neighborhood.
You're going to spend most of your time in the neighborhood anyway, so you might as well make this your base.
So if you're a couple planning to explore Lisbon take this place.
