Alfama is amazing and the location of the apartment was more than I could have imagined. I would highly recommend staying in this apartment. The restaurants nearby are outstanding and you are within walking distance of everything. It is also very close to the train stations if you wish to take a visit to Estoril, Cascais or Sintra. This is the old quarter of Portugal essentially, so as you can imagine, it is like stepping back in time - where Portugal meets Morrocco. I loved the atmosphere here and the lively buzz. Fado music is played in most of the restaurants nearby and if you walk up the hill beyond the apartment, the scenery of the city and river is breathtaking. the apartment is also within very close proximity to the shopping area and the bars in central Lisbon.
