Charlotte's place was perfect for a couple looking for a quiet retreat but with a great location in Alfama. The balcony and view were amazing. 50 yards away from our private balcony, thousands of others walked to one of Lisbons famous Miradouro's and took pictures and admired the view. The idea that we were able to walk out of bed and see the same view was perfect.
My partner and I also loved the location. The apartment is located off a short walk up a small (pedestrian only) street. The street was incredibly quiet but was still located 50 yards from a wine shop, coffee, and convenience store. If you have bad knees or struggle with stairs this may not be the best place for you. Every morning we'd wake up, grab a coffee, and roam and get lost in the streets of Alfama. Eventually we'd make it down to the water or the popular tourist area nearby.
