The Alfama district is central, lively and bustling with tourists and locals alike. Quaint narrow cobblestone streets surround this area. Great place for restaurants and bars. The apartment itself is modern stylish and brand new. We were all very comfortable and felt very safe there. The hosts are quick to respond to any concern. Would definitely recommend. I think a plus is that each bedroom has its own bathroom (2 ensuite). Be advised it is one flight of stairs up and taxi/Ubers can get within a few blocks.
