Vanessa's adorable apartment was the perfect location to explore the charming Alfama neighborhood and Lisbon in general. there are so many wonderful cafes and restaurants within walking distance and the major train stations for day trips are about 20-25 minutes away by walking. Her place was very clean and easily accommodated our group of 3. We loved the nightly fado music that could be heard from the balcony. As others have noted, the stairs both to and within the apartment are quite steep due to the age of the home. Vanessa met us when we arrived and took time to make recommendations and chat about our stay. Overall, an excellent experience!!
