Carlota was a lovely host, she was there to meet up and took the time to tell us about the flat, the local area and where to eat and visit. The flat is in the Alfama district, which was great for good local restaurants and places to visit, plus local Fado. The flat is right on the Tram 28 route, so very handy to catch the tram, but it can get a little noisy with the passing trams right outside.
