Artur and Sara are the finest hosts possible! Very attentive and hospitable. Their apartment is completely downtown Alfama but is spacious and very bright. Despite the hordes of tourists, there are genuine local restaurants and bars to visit. Just ask Artur, he has a list...
The apartment has the best equipped kitchen I've ever seen in a holiday flat, but I didn't use it because Portuguese restaurants are so good. The bedrooms are bright and spacious and there's a big table in the main room for those of us who have to work.
Two minor cautions - it's a bit of a steep staircase to get up to the flat, but to get anywhere in Lisbon you need to climb hills. I suggest leg muscle training before you get here. Also, Alfama is not a quiet neighbourhood and this place is in the middle of it. The bedrooms are in the back of the apartment so sleeping is quiet enough, but be aware that this is no sleepy suburb by day and night!
Artur was always ready to answer questions and offer advice. You can't go wrong here!
