André’s place is located in the heart of Alfama, the centuries old neighborhood in one of the seven hills of Lisboa. The views are stunning. It’s quite a hike up and many streets are only accessible on foot, so backpacks (not suitcases) are highly recommended. The neighborhood is especially alive at night and you can find restaurants operating out of every nook and cranny. There’s music everywhere and weekend nights are loud. We’re heavy sleepers, much more so after walking all day so that wasn’t an issue for us. On the contrary, we enjoyed it! The apartment is spacious and comfortable, with a nice size kitchen if you want to cook. We made breakfast for six and it was perfect. Make sure you walk the streets at night, they’re perfectly safe and beautifully lighted, great for photos. Public transit options are somewhat limited, there’s a tram a couple of blocks away that goes up and down the hill and then you have to connect to metro or bus. If you don’t mind walking up/down a kilometer or so every day, it’s a perfect place to stay. The lack of roads is the price you pay for being in a place that makes you feel you went several centuries back in time!
