Simone’s apartment is in the quaint Alfama district. It truly is a wonderful place to stay. It was very quiet and close to everything we needed. We felt we got a feel for the historic culture. There are all sorts of shops/restaurants/cafes around to choose from. You’ll hear the Fado music as you walk through the district at night. It is a very hilly area and you will get lost but it’s part of that charm. Friendly residents and Google maps will help if you do. Simone’s place is exactly as advertised - clean, quiet and charming. Lovely balconies to sit out on too which we love. You do have to walk up three narrow flights of stairs which is fine as long as you don’t have any mobility or health issues. Simone checked up on us throughout our stay and offered good advice. She even ordered our cab for our departure. She got back to us within minutes if we needed her. We miss her place already!
