Carols place is at a great location. It is at the edge of Alfama so we could go by the hilly allies or walk along the river to most attractions. Public transportations are conveniently available as bus stops and train station are within one minute of walk. The neighborhood restaurants offer good inexpensive food and we enjoyed them a lot. Carols was very friendly and helpful, and always available to answer questions. Beds are comfortable and the river view is pleasing. A few things should be noted though: the kitchen could have equipped with bigger pots and pans; noise from the restaurant below was too loud in some nights. Overall, Carols place is of great value and we recommend it.
