Pedro came to pick up at the airport and drove us to the apartment. That was very nice of him and much appreciated as the apartment would not have been easy to find in the small streets of Alfama.
The apartment is as described, small but fully furbished. It is suitable for a couple. As expected from Alfama, it is in an old building with wood floors and so has minimal isolation from the upper neighbors.
The first day we didn’t pay attention and came short of hot water. For the rest of our stay we used hot water more carefully and it was ok.
The neighborhood is very typical of Alfama, with restaurants featuring Fado close by and the typical tram 28 just a few minutes walk.
