My husband and I loved staying at Paulo's place in the heart of Alfama. It's located in a small square with buzzing restaurants, small shops and lots of people well late into the night. That said, this apartment being in a cul de sac offers total privacy and security. The apartment itself is furnished comfortably with high quality kitchenware, hot shower, personal heater etc. I would gladly return to this place when in Lisbon again.
