It was a pleasure meeting Isabel, she is a wonderful person, very kind and we had no problem in getting to the apartment with the directions she provided.

We found the apartment to be better than in the pictures :), in the heart of Alfama it was very clean and organized with all you need for a wonderful stay.

The apartment is very close to the Metro and in walking distance to the praça de comercio. We hardly had to take any transportation to see the city, even the castle is accessible by foot although the narrow streets and stairs of Alfama do need some getting accustomed to.

We were also fortunate enough to arrive exactly at the time of the fado festival (right outside the apartment) and got a taste of Alfama's Fado soul.

We highly recommend the place
