We loved the neighborhood of Alfama and this apartment was a great find. It's centrally located and an easy walk to stores and restaurants. You can't really avoid the hills but the location is located in a way where you can use cabs and trams to avoid too much hill climbing. The hosts were great and check in was easy. Do be warned that the walls are very thin so you will probably be able to hear the neighbors if they are loud like ours were, but that's something you'll have to deal with in most of the older buildings in that area. When we come back we will definitely stay there again.
