My friend and I enjoyed a wonderful Easter weekend at Rute E Paulo's place. Everything was exactly as we thought it would be from the description and there was a bottle of Portuguese wine for us. After climbing all the steps around Alfama for three days, it felt good to come home to a ground floor apartment with outdoor space for the chairs and picnic table that are provided in the apartment. The kitchen and bathroom are small but fulfill all requirements and the shower has excellent water pressure. I slept on the double bed which was very comfortable and my friend slept on the pull out sofa - also comfortable. There are many fado restaurants and bars around this area - like the whole of Alfama but it's very peaceful at night. I think everyone who stays here will enjoy their stay.
