A fantastic wee gem in the heart of Alfama district :)
I hope Paulo updates the photos of this place, as they really don't do the flat justice (as mentioned in other reviews). It's lovely, cosy, and considerable space for what's on offer in Alfama distrinct. Additionally, really nicely equipped kitchenette with Nescafe type machine, oven hob, toaster, kettle, microwave and also plenty of cutlery, glasses and dishes.
The bathroom is compact but has everything you need and a powerful shower.
The bedroom has a comfortable bed and is further into the flat (along with the kitchen and bathroom) so that you don't have any noise interference at night-time.
The sitting room is a lovely, nicely decorated space, and windows that open out onto a small balcony (I love a balcony). It's not big enough to sit at, but you can open the windows and have the lovely Fado music flow up to you as you have some dinner or a glass of wine at the table. Great if you're wanting to still participate in the Alfama spirit but feeling a bit introverted one evening ;)
In terms of location it's very easy to get to - although it's within Alfama it's only a couple of cobblestone blocks down until you get to some main roads that easily lead to a Metro station within around 7 mins. And otherwise for exploration you couldn't ask for any better.
I was also travelling solo and felt very safe walking back to this place at night, especially as the local Fado bars are open so late too and they are right next door - so plenty of people around :)
Hope this review was helpful and thanks so much Paulo for having me to stay!
