I don't exactly know where the heart of Alfama is, but this apartment is indeed located very close to it! If you're an aficionado of Alfama's little streets and staircases, then this is your gem.
Christophe has welcomed me in person, with a new set of mugs and an amazing bottle of wine.
Meeting him and chatting with him was a real pleasure!
The apartment is very clean and bright: with a view to Alfama's rooftops, as well as to the river Tejo. One of the highlights was seeing a cruise ship from our windows. It looked as if a block of flats was erected overnight! :)
As mentioned in the description: the apartment is located on the 3rd floor and the stairs are indeed steep. So if you'd like to stay active during your stay there, it's a perfect location. People with a slightly less mobility may have some issues, though.
Otherwise, fantastic host and a great spot!
Muito obrigado, merci beaucoup, Christophe! :)
