The apartment is at the very centre of Alfama. Alfama is a great place to stay with plenty of nice people. Although small, the apartment has everything you need. Its ideal for 2 or families with not too small (steep staircase) nor not too tall (sofa-bed) children: our children (10 & 12) loved it. The apartment keeps cool without airco: keep the sun out during the day. We were there with 36° and slept very well looking at the sky through the open rooftop window.
Strolling through the streets of Alfama in the morning for bread and fruit is an experience worth while. Just say a simple "bom dia" and people will smile back and make you feel welcome.
André is a very helpful and enthusiastic man. He takes time to explain and to share with you his favorites.
