It was a nice stay in a cool street I the heart of Alfama!
Yes, it is à touristy area but not too much.
The apartment has its charm because it in the ground floor, which I thought would be something a bit negative but it was not at all! It allows you to leave the atmosphere from te street!
A bakery next door, a supermarket in walking distance... a laundry not far, small shops close by.. hairdresser, barber or butcher also on the street as well as good restaurants around.
Maybe a bit expensive if I compare with apartments our friends who found better apartments for the same period of time...
I totally advice it if it is your first time in town!
(We were 2 and it was perfect for us!... maybe wit an extra person or 2 kids could be also good since they have another sofa in between rooms. )
I recommend it. Bruno is always available and helpful and that helps a lot.
(A late check out or a locker Ian or available.. keep it in mind!)
