We were delighted that Rute picked us up at the airport and took us to the apartment and made us feel most welcome. The apartment's location in Alfama is perfect. I wanted to be in the heartland of fado, and that's where we were. (Within earshot of half a dozen fado restaurants and a stone's throw from the Fado Museum in fact!).
The apartment is compact but clean and comfortable. It has been recently renovated and has a good kitchen and bathroom. It was the perfect base for exploring Lisbon and at the same time close to the friendliest cafés and restaurants. Don't miss café Ma' Fama and Pateo 13, both a short walk away. Rute was very quick to reply to our questions. A great apartment in a great neighbourhood. Even the lady at the laundry a street or two away seemed to be the happiest person you would ever meet!
