Helena's place is well restored and is very comfortable. It has a great feel and the location is perfect for what we wanted. The area has wonderful places to eat and a jazz club near by. Transport is a breeze and convenient and simple. Just get an all day transport pass and you get use it on trains (including the metro), tram and buses. By doing this you can simply and safely get around not only Alfama but also to Lisbon and other areas.

We could have stayed a week and even more if we could. Portugal has so much to offer that it is a shame to have left so early. Staying here just made it that much more special.
