The Alfama district is charming and Antonio's apartment is in the midst of ancient streets, quaint shops, fado clubs and restaurants . Yet it is quiet and easy walking distance from the shore and the city center.

We 4 women felt very safe and encountered many chivalrous men offering assistance. The apartment is enormous, comfortable and very well appointed.

While the modern Achitecture in the area of the Expo is stunning we were very happy to come "home" to the most colorful area of the city.
