AMAZING If you are in lisbon for a few days or for a week, this place will hold a special place in your heart as it immerses you in a time you thought we could only imagine when reading a novel. The apartment is CLEAN and modern...it has pretty much everything you need and even a Nespresso machine if you want to enjoy a morning coffee on the balcony watching the birds fly over the majestic view of alfama and the river all while the sun is rising on the town. We have stayed in other places in lisbon and this is the one we wished we stayed in at the entire time. Of course in this part of town the streets are narrow and you have to climb stairs but you feel you are part of history and just as much as it is quiet and peaceful in the morning it gets buzzing with music and people and food in the streets in the evening. The weekend evenings feel like a festival however I like bairro alto and chiado it isn't full of young teenagers getting wasted and being noisy . It's a nice crowd with people dancing or eating ... truly an unforgettable moment with extraordinary locals.
Mariza is very professional, we didn't meet her personally but she is respected by those who work with her. She had Bruno pick us up at the airport and Pedro greeted us at the apartment and sat with us to present us a map of the town and have some recommendations and answer any questions. We knew and felt we were in good hands all along. This place is worth your money and is well located if for example you do wish to get to a busier district where all the tourist are and go shopping you can do that within a 15 mins walk at worse. There are a lot of things I could go on about but just know that we did our homework before coming but this place exceeded our expectations. And we stayed in other areas that are not even comparable. You will feel great about your investment don't think about it too long .!
