We LOVED it. In the heart of all of the residential and restaurant action. Just walk around from here and get lost in the becos/alleyways. The view is lovely from the flat, which has everything you need. Hints: Be fit as you will go up four flights and also have cute little stairs to the loft bed (I suppose you could sleep on the pullout sofa if this is not for you). There are awesome little cafes just across from Museu do Fado (we love sweets and fresh juice, so the waffles and cappuccino at the yellow and white striped with drawings on the wall was our favorite; Ma'Fama was also quite nice for morning toasts, pastel de nata and cappuccino). Dinner reservations are suggested at the place downhill and under street level, where we heard amazing fado and had the best meal of the week. Really, though, you can't go wrong in Alfama. Lots of mini markets nearby for extra coffee, TP, snacks and fruit. And nothing is too far away, either. We walked from here to Baixa, all of the churches and castle, two of the main lookout points, and then took a train to Belem, Cascais, and a little buggy vehicle to see the rest. Today is checkout day and we plan an Uber ride across the bridges. Book it. No regrets.
