Rute's place was a great place to explore Alfama from and the rest of Lisboa. You are in walking distance of all you could need, restaurants, museums, castle, mini markets and cash points. The tram 28 and many other buses stop close to the property. The flat is comfortable for 1 or 2 people and everything you could need for a few days stay is there. Although I wasn't greeted by Rute, the gentleman (whose name I have forgotten) was very knowledgeable and generous with his recommendations. Lots of great tips about places to eat, which I love (especially the Mozambican restaurant).
