Portas de Alfa is a delightful 3 storey apartment set in the heart of the Alfama with great character and charm. The neighbourhood is fascinating to walk through and the facilities in the apartment very good; lovely view from the 3rd storey terrace over the harbour and neighbourhood. The main challenge was finding the apartment as it is in the middle of a maze of alleys, halfway down a steep hill and not accessible by car. If we had found the public lift earlier, it would have been helpful but still many stairs to negotiate. But don't be put off; just make sure you get good directions and preferably a map to guide you. Luis who met us was very helpful.
