GREAT location, in the middle of all the Alfama action. Great restaurants, Fado, transportation etc. Don't rent a car....there's no place to park and it's a bear negotiating the VERY narrow, very windy little streets. The apartment is quite noisy at night so if you are a light sleeper you might think twice...we were there 4 nights and it never let up (weekends or weekdays.off season). If you can sleep through an atomic bomb then this is the place for you. Very spacious.
