Bella welcomed us on behalf of Helena and was vey helpful and friendly. We especially appreciated Helena's help with our laundry needs, and our check-out time. The apartment is exactly as descibed. Our group of four were comfortable in the very spacious apartment, enjoying Helena's library and Portuguese artifacts. The view over the Tagus river and the sky is wonderful by day and night. This part of the historic Alfama is a perfect place to stay, with easy access to buses, trams and train, and easy walking to Baixa and Chiado. The neighbourhood has no shortage of great places for breakfast, and bars and restaurants at night.
