Alfama Loft was an absolute delight. The modern floor plan was spacious and comfortable. The location in historic Alfama is ideal. Fado wafts in open windows in the evening from the restaurant across the alley. The noise of children playing fills the alley during the day. The medieval, narrow alleys are a maze that's fun to wander.

We spent most of three weeks in the loft and developed a true sense of the neighborhood. While tourists are numerous "in season", Alfama is full of locals and one readily experiences local life and culture. The locals are exceptionally friendly and impressively multilingual.

The loft is 7-10 minutes walk to a train/metro station that allows one to get to all of Lisbon and surrounding areas. Trips to Belem, Caccais and Sintra are convenient and inexpensive.

Pedro and Sofia are passionate about Alfama, Lisbon and Portugal. Their knowledge and enthusiasm deepened out experience.
