What a wonderful place! This trip marked the first time my wife and I visited Portugal . Joanna’s place in Alfama is fantastic for the traveler that loves and immersive experience in the local culture. The Alfama neighborhood is one of those world gems that offers it all, great places to eat, hear the occasional Fado, and general milling about in the historic core. Although Alfama is a notorious maze of medieval streets, Joanna’s directions made her pace east to find. Once inside the modern interior and cozy amenities made our stay a very comfortable one indeed. We are already talking about a future trip, and definitely would stay here again.
