We had THE BEST stay at Carla and Joel's place. Right in the middle of the small, narrow streets, we were lucky enough to stay here during the festivals. This did mean we were in the heart of all the excitement; with music, dancing and decorations right outside the door: it was so much fun. The apartment is so handy for seeing all of Alfama and is not too far a walk into town. Great pastry shops and rustic restaurants nearby. Lovely welcoming touches from the hosts. Only negative was the humidity in the bathroom due to the lack of windows. Would come back here again, thankyou.
