A very nice appartement in the center of Alfama, you feel like at home immediately and it's really fun to start the day at the little balcony looking over the waking Lisbon. Joao recieved us with kindness and a lot of hospitality. The flat was clean and cosy. Even if there are some stairs to conquer before arriving, the ambiance worth the effort. When we were there it was the Festival of Sardines so the small streets of Alfama were full of people, music, the smell of grilled sardines and cheap beer...it was fun!! However note that the appartement is very noisy at this time (all june I think) unitl 1-2 am, mostly on week-ends. But who wants to sleep when everybody is doing the party outside! I highly recommend this loft, it gives an extra to your stay in Lisbon!!
