If you are looking for an absolutely great location in the beautiful old neighborhood of Alfama, this is the spot. It is close to everything—train, shops, music, restaurants, places to grab coffee—all within a few minutes or less walking. Plus it’s a bit tucked off the main street so there is little to no outside noise. It is a rather old building, so neighbors above can be easily heard. But updated inside very nicely. Also, three flights of stairs up, so if that is an issue for you, be aware. We dug the extra exercise. :)
Well-equipped kitchen (though we didn’t need it for all the restaurants!) and comfy space with nice big windows to open on the warm days. The only thing that proved to be a bit of a problem was that there was not enough hot water for two people to take a shower one right after the other, and since it was chilly the time of year we visited, we had to make sure we planned to take short showers with time in between for water to catch back up.
Little quirks, but if you’re thinking of staying in old Alfama that is probably your thing. ;)
Thanks so much for our stay!
