A walker's paradise!
I love to walk a city - and this was the PERFECT flat from which to do so. Just above historic Alfama and adjacent to other historic neighbourhoods and sights, I only jumped on transit once (tho you will wish to indulge in a tuk tuk ride, totally fun!). Miradouro da Senhora do Monte (best lookout over the city, or so I was told by trip advisor and others) is just a minute walk away.
I was greeted by Ana Cristina's lovely friend Simone - who lives a few short doorways away. Simone was warm (and very helpful on a number of occasions) and invited me into the space which is fresh and clean and totally up to date. A lovely little abode. No complaints and relaxing after a long day of exploring. The apartment is located in a small courtyard so it is quiet at night. Groceries are just around the corner. I felt lucky to lay my head there at the end of each day. I was sorry to leave.
