The apartment is cozy and located in the heart of Alfama with its cobblestone streets and Fado restaurants. We loved looking out at the Tejo River from the apartment and seeing the cruise ships docked at the new terminal. The first time you climb up the three flights of the spiral staircase with your luggage, it’s not so easy. But afterwards it’s just the way home. The neighborhood has lots of restaurants and bakeries and good coffee. The Santa Apolonia train station for traveling to other parts of Lisbon either by Metro or train is right down the hill. Conceicao was always warm and helpful when we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay very much.
