Zoia's place was more central than we could have ever imagined - just a few steps away from Porta do Sol, we spent one morning there grabbing coffee and watching the sun rise over Lisbon. What a fabulous location. Very exposed deck where you can see the street car go by and everyone on the street. It is quite loud here but that is part of the excitement of staying in Alfama. I recommend bringing a small suitcase because there is a narrow staircase going up to the apartment. Overall, everything was great and I would highly recommend staying in Zoia's place!
