The yellow room ( and apartment) had recently received a total renovation in a very old building with big keys. You share the apartment with 2 other guests. Thick walls and solid floors made for quiet restful sleep. The kitchen is very well stocked with essentials provided for preparing your own breakfast. Emilia's daughters are the host of the apartment and are very accommodating. They even provide a ride down to the metro station because it was poring rain so that we would not miss our flight. Once you learn the area, it is very easy to get to many sights in Alfama and beyond.Tram 28 (as well as others) begins at the closest main square. The famous flea market is just down the street. I enjoyed my stay in the yellow room.
