I would highly recommend staying at Maddie's place for anyone travelling alone or in a couple and looking for a chance to unwind in Lisbon. It was such a relaxing time for me. I had been on the road a bit and being here alone for a week was just such a joy. It's not only a great place to just hang out - the balcony is such a plus, you can sit there for ages like watching a movie! You will also be staying in one of the oldest iconic areas of Alfama for fado Bars. Although a touristic area, There's still very much a community of genuine residents living in this neighbourhood which I loved. there's always something going on. Just a note to say the lads at the bar on the end of the street can get a little rowdy at night but it's highly entertaining and the bars close at 10.30 pm anyway, it wasn't a bother too much. You are also very likely to strike up a conversation with the neighbours directly opposite on the first floor as the street is so narrow.
Apart from a kettle, the kitchen has everything you will need for a short stay involving some cooking from home. The bathroom is also a good size. I can not fault this place! Thank you for your accommodation, Maddie!
