Vanessa is a lovely host and met us at the Fado museum, taking us to the flat just up the street. The flat is cute, small but adequate with all amenities. The bed is actually the sofa, with the matress a bit thin. Staying in the suburb, surrounded by the smells and sounds of Alfama, was a wonderful experience. There is a small market at the front door, but a big supermarket at the Station at St Apolinia. Take Bus 728 to Belem on the other side of the Fado museum.
