Not knowing lisbon before we arrived, we were so pleased to realise it was, in our opinion, in the best district of lisbon - old cobbled streets, cafes, restaurants, live fado music and old charm - Alfama is definitely better than it's more modern counterparts. The apartment itself was spotlessly clean, modern, had a very firm and comfortable bed and is in a central location but on a back street so mostly quiet and had everything that we needed for a comfortable stay. Ema was a helpful and easy-to-communicate with host who went out of her way to allow us to keep our bags there after check out. Highly recommended.
