We four adults, a married couple and two single friends enjoyed a two night stay at Bruno and Selma's Alfama apartment. We arrived on a Saturday night so the square accross the street from the Fado Museum was very full of noisy diners. It took us three tries to find Becos do Mexias as the entrance to the streey was masked by diners. After that the walk to #23 was short. Walk one must as is typical of many parts of the Alfama the streets are too narrow for a vehicle. The stairs to the apartmebt are typicul.al of an older building,nderf steep and narrow. I'm glad my suitcase was no larger. We used the futon in the living for one friend, the bed in the upstairs loft accessed by a sturdy, smallish metal stairs for our other friend and my husband and I used the private bedroom on the main floor. We used the refrigerator, the coffee maker, the clothes washer, the clothes lines outside the living area window, the shower and the air conditioner. Alll were appreciated. The view out the fourth floor windows (3rd floor as described by any one in Europe) of the rooftops of the old city were wonderful.
