The apartment is perfectly situated in the best part of Lisbon! I would never stay anywhere but Alfama. The apartment is midway up so you can go up or down to find a great meal, Fado, and lovely people. You will walk a lot - up many hills and stairs, which removes any guilt from enjoying the delicious food! The apartment is clean and comfortable, we really enjoyed the balcony, spending hours enjoying the view and sounds of music.
