This lovely cozy apartment was in the heart of the Alfama barrio. The best place to be when coming to Lisboa. So much history, sites and local cuisine to try, and close to your doorstep. The rooftop view was absolutely amazing and worth the trek up the stairs and hills. We became more fit on this leg of the trip. The flat was well appointed, with everything you could need tucked away neatly. Yes it is a bit small but we were also only there to rest at night and for breakfast. The Porto vinho and pastel de nata offered as a welcome was a nice touch and much appreciated.
The sightseeing information was also extremely useful as well as the lockers at the metro as we took a day trip to Cascais and Belem our last day before leaving at night. The grocery in the metro is extremely convenient! We cooked breakfast every morning and took in the sights and sounds of Lisboa with the windows open before heading out for the day. We would recommend Ana and Fatima's place for anyone wanting to experience the local culture of Lisbon in a safe setting. A must do is attending Fado dinner and music at night and the family ran resturant a short distance on the left after desending the stairs to the main road (look for the grill with the glass windows) absolutely delicious. Try the Verde vinho as well!
