Loved Pedro's place in Alfama. Alfama is quite hilly and Pedro's place sits in the middle just off the steps that run from the Fado Museum up to the castle. The place is surrounded by wonderful inexpensive restaurants and bars. Public transport is nearby and easy to use once you figure it out. The unit is small and cosy with a kitchenette. Windows open onto the stairs running up the hill and make for good people watching. Arrange to meet Pedro in the small plaza across from the Fado museum. You'll be lucky to find the place on your own. Enjoy a caipirinha while you wait for him to arrive. At the airport before you board the subway to Santa Apolonia station, buy a Viva Viagem zapping card. If you're going to be using public transport this card is good for subway, trams and the trains to Cascais and Sintra. I put 20 euros on the card and it really makes things easy. From the Santa Apolonia station to the square across from the Fado museum is about a 10 minute walk.
