My husband and I stayed a week at João and Rita’s lovely apartment. The location was perfect for us, right in the heart of the Alfama district. Rita was the perfect host, meeting up with us and walking us to the apartment. She also gave us an orientation to the neighborhood.
The 3rd floor apartment (no elevator) is cute and cozy with lots of light, perfect for two adults. The kitchen has everything needed. The bathroom is small and the shower is a little tight, but in such an old building, that is to be expected. The bedroom was spacious and has a comfortable bed and a closet organizer.
If you are looking to immerse yourself in the Alfama neighborhood and for a great location to explore Lisbon, then this is the perfect place. We would love to stay there again when we go back to Lisbon.
