This was our first time in Lisbon and staying at Patricias place was a great experience. Fabulous location right in the heart of Alfama and super easy to get to any of the other areas in the city. The neighborhood is lively during the day and super quiet in the evening. I will say, if you are trying to avoid the touristy area, this is not a place for you. The apartment was perfect and access was beyond easy. Just note that only authorized vehicles such as a bus and some taxis can get close to the actual apartment but you can get an uber and just meet them right down the hill from the apartment. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting!
