Ana and Ricardo's beautiful apartment was the perfect base for our first visit to Lisbon. Just a ten minute walk from two Metro stations and the centre of town, the apartment is ideally situated in the historic district of Alfama with dozens of cafes, restaurants and bars within 60 seconds of the front door. However, despite the location, it is also quiet and restful in the apartment and the balcony is perfect for enjoying a relaxing drink while looking out over the river. The view from the dining room and bathroom is perhaps even better, looking up at the Portas do Sol viewpoint. The apartment was clean, comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. We didn't meet Ana and Ricardo during our stay but they provided great directions and information before our arrival, moved the check-in time forward two hours to accommodate our early arrival and gave us lots of great advice on places to eat and visit (they also sent a message midway through our visit to check all was OK). Highly recommended!
