OTHER INFORMATION:
- June 13th is Saint Anthony's day (Lisbon city holiday) and so it is a time of festivities, with traditional parties in the streets all over Lisbon until dawn, mainly in the oldest and most historical neighborhoods. The neighborhoods of Alfama and Castle (where the apartment is) are one of the main sites of these festivities, with music, dancing, food, and hundreds of people in the streets. These festivities usually take place over a whole week, but mostly on the weekends before and after the 13th, and also on the night of the 12th to 13th of June. Our apartment has soundproof double-glazed windows, but on these days it could be noisier than usual.

- Apartment not suitable for children under 10 years.

- We prepare the house with all our care, attention to detail and tailored to our guests. We ask you to look after it with the same care and in the best way possible.

- Respect the neighbours not making too much noise, especially after 10 pm.

- We can be flexible with check-in and check-out timings as long as they do not conflict with other reservations.

- For stays longer than a week, we offer an extra cleaning with changing of sheets and towels.

- When making your reservation for more than two guests, please note that there is a small extra payment. This will be visible in the breakdown of the total price of the reservation.

- In case the apartment is not available on the dates that you want, the Courtesy Morning has other apartments in the VRBO also in the historic area of the city. Talk with us.

Our stay was amazing. Pedro was absolutely fabulous even before we arrived. Pedro answered all of my emails full of questions and was so helpful and accommodating. He also arranged a driver to pick us up from the airport, who was also awesome and we ended up using him throughout our stay. The apartment was beautiful, clean, and centrally located. Pedro greeted us at our arrival with delicious port wine and pasteries and imparted all his knowledge of the locale area and explained all the apartment amenities. His dinner recommendations were delicious as well. We enjoyed relaxing in our own private pool after a busy day of sight seeing. I would highly recommend this fabulous apartment and host .

The apartment was so well appointed and so much more than the pictures gave hint too. The host Bruno was very welcoming and answered all of our questions. He had a bottle of Port and treats waiting for us. My only caution is the apartment is up three flights of stairs- and it is not a climb for the faint of heart. We loved the location and enjoyed the garden so much.

Pedro and Ana provided great communications and we appreciated how they accommodated our schedule. The apartment is beautifully appointed and had everything we needed. The area was quite lively as we were there during Saint Anthony's Day celebration (so much fun) but inside was quiet. The patio and pool was the perfect place to start and end our busy days.

Perfect for a city break in Lisbon
Firstly I'd like to thank Bruno who greeted us on arrival, we were delayed over four hours at Lisbon Airport. The property is perfect, I work in interior design and the eye for detail these owners have is exceptional! The small garden and pool are a welcome retreat from the bustle of the city. The folder of information is clearly laid out with details of all the local amenities a massive benefit if your new to the city. We were lucky that Bruno could be flexible with our check out which we were grateful for, he even organised our transport to and from the airport. The apartment is in a great location easy access to the trams and buses and very close to the castle. All in all I cant find fault with this property and the guys that care for it and their guests. Many thanks Bruno and hopefully we will be back again in the future. Many thanks David and Denise

The best apartment I have ever stayed. Excellent hosts.
I travel a lot and visited Lisbon a lot of times, so I can consider myself as an expert :-) I must say that Ana and her apartment were the best ever. Location is superb, just in the heart of the historical center of Lisbon, great to discover the city by walking, very close to Alfama, the castle and with so many good places to eat, amazing viewpoints, and yet in a very quiet, safe and truly local surrounding. Close at hand you can find everything you might want, such as grocery, supermarket, pharmacies, wine bars, several cafes, just everything you need. Talking about the apartment itself, it was spotlessly clean, spacious, decorated with a very good taste and has all the necessary equipment, iron, washer and drier, dishwasher, air conditioner in every room, nice tableware and Nespresso machine. We had very good sleep there, the bedding was very comfortable. The best part was to have a drink in the private garden and the temperature of the swimming pool was just perfect! Ana was super friendly! She was in the apartment waiting for us with freshly cooked pasteis de nata and some port wine! If you are looking for a perfect place to stay in Lisbon, this is the place! I am sure that I will return to this apartment.

A better apartment than all expectations
Yes the apartment is better than all expectations but beyond that Courtesymorning is exceptional. They were waiting for me with a wonderful portuguese tart and port wine and they answered all my questions and gave me very good suggestions. The apartment is very well furnished, with a rare design that I had never met until today in my many trips. The location is very good. Near the castle and downtown. I have no doubt recommending to my friends and I am looking forward coming back next time
