A problem came up at Filipe's flat a few days before arriving but he offered to handle everything and let us stay at his friends' airbnb around the corner without having to go back through airbnb. He arranged everything and his friend Angela met us at her flat at the requested time. So my review is of her place but also of Filipe's responsiveness and resourcefulness. And the location is the same. It's amazing, in a little maze of winding cobblestone streets and staircases, with restaurants, cafes, pastry shops steps away, close walk to the strain station, the water, all of Alfama. It's not quiet but you can't be at the heart of things and have quiet too.
