My girlfriend and I had a lovely stay at Alessandra's place, and Alessandra was an excellent host, always quick to respond to any questions we had. The apartment was clean, bright, well-equipped, and centrally located, right in the heart of Alfama. Santa Apolonia station was a 10 minute walk away, the Baixa about 20 minutes by foot, tons of restaurants and little shops around...if you are looking for a quiet, private neighborhood, this may not be the right place, but if you're looking for the kind of Lisboa experience where Fado wafts through your windows at night, then this is your spot!
