We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Alfama. The apartment was super clean and comfortable. We were able to check in early due to the former guests checking out ahead of schedule.
Margarida met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the apartment and some tips to explore the area. She also brought us a welcome basket with wine and pastry. When she found out we were celebrating an anniversary, she later returned with a bottle of champagne.
A supermarket is right around the corner which makes eating light meals at home super convenient and is a money saver. The street allows cars, so transportation with Uber to other areas (such as Belem) is quick, easy and worth the cost.
My only caveat is those with mobility issues may find the location challenging as the street is on a hill and the apartment is on the second floor with no elevator. Other than that, I would highly recommend!
