The location of Carole & Pedro’s apartment was perfect. It was very walkable from most parts of the city. The neighborhood of Alfama is not for the faint of heart, or with limited mobility.
It was easy to get into the building and apartment. C&P’s tips were helpful. None of the taxis were willing to enter the narrow streets surrounding the apartment. Luckily, the Fado museum nearby was a good meeting point.
We came in December, it was a bit chilly in the evening, and was super humid when we first came. That humidity lingered in the sheets and towels. Thank goodness for the built in towel heater!
Our only issue was the creaky floors. They were so loud that we worried about disturbing the neighbors below and definitely woke people in the other rooms.
Overall, this was a good choice for my family.
