When visiting Lisbon, Alfama is the neighbourhood to be in and you could not do better than to stay at the Alfama Linda. It's centrally located in a 300+ year old building, surrounded by inexpensive restaurants, and within easy walking distance of many of the sites. Sergio, the host, is always a quick text away and makes sure everything goes smoothly. He even picked us up at the airport (though don't count on that!). The apartment is spotless and neatly furnished (think IKEA) and oozes charm. Much of the original woodwork is still in place. No terrace, but you have wide window sills that are comfortable to sit on and enjoy the outside view and activity. Only one warning; if you are over 6'2" (1.88 m) this might not be the place for you. The ceilings are low in places (people were shorter when these places were built!) Will definitely stay here again.
