This lovely little apartment in the heart of the Alfama district was the perfect place to experience Lisbon locality. Nestled among the old apartments, small squares, narrow streets and corridors, just walking home was a beautiful site seeing experience. I could hear Fado music from the living room window. Everything I could want from a home was provided including a small refrigerator, fully equipped kitchen, comfy couch, book shelf, television, separate bedroom (with a curtain if you wanted to keep the sunlight out while sleeping in after a long night in the Bairro Alto). Not too mention that the Castelo de Sao Jorge is just a hot skip and a jump away, and many other picturesque views of Central Lisbon and the Rio Tejo as it empties into the Atlantic ocean. The Santa Apolonia metro station is just a few minutes walk away, and from there, Lisbon is your oyster.
In short, I had an amazing time in Lisbon! And I credit Giuseppe's apartment to contributing to my experience. I would stay there again in a heartbeat. My only side note would be that it is a little on the small side. It's perfect for 2 people, but 3 or even 4 would probably be too much of a squeeze even though I believe the living room couch folds out into a bed as well. So, technically you could fit 4, but the bathroom is tiny and there isn't much hot water to spare, so I wouldn't recommend more than 2 people at a time.
Otherwise, I loved this apartment. Way better than any hotel room in Lisbon.
