In the heart of Alfama but still quiet and peaceful. Small markets just steps away. Away from the business of the town center but still walking distance if your muscles are up for it. Easy access to ride shares and public transport if you desire. If you want to relax you can, if you enjoy city life it can also be for you. Tight staircase to the apartment but that's to be expected for the view of the water and skyline. My wife and I loved it!!!
