This was the perfect apartment for my wife and I while in Lisbon. This was our third time in the city and we wanted to stay up in Alfama this time. The building seems new or recently renovated. Wait till you see the view! I don't want to spoil the surprise of the shower, but that alone was worth the price of admission. Everything was clean and new and in perfect working order. It was only a short walk down to some of our favorite restaurants. That walk down, through São Cristóvão, down the fado graffiti stairs, meandering down to the main streets is one of the best walks in the city. It's a bit of a hike back up at the end of the day but it gave us a chance to burn off those calories so we could have more food and wine. You could always take a cab if you didn't want to walk uphill. Taxis seem to have access passed the little barrier at the end of the street that Ubers do not. We walked around at all hours and were always comfortable, plenty of tourists and friendly locals around. I'd avoid coming up the other side by way of metro through Martim Moniz, especially after dark, but maybe that's just me. Overall it was the perfect place for us with a very helpful host. It's really a wonderful apartment.
