Filipe’s apartment is in the old area of Alfama. This area has a lot of character and history with lots of narrow streets up and down hills.
There’s also restaurants, supermarkets and cafes nearby. The metro and train station (Santa Apolonia) is only a short ~10 minutes walk away.
We didn’t manage to meet Filipe. However, communication is always timely and he left us information on how to locate the apartment, how to get access to the key, etc.
Filipe also left us some biscuits, jam and a bottle of nice wine. He also has some good tips on how to get a seat on the popular tram 28 without needing to get crowded out by other tourists.
