Maria José's apartment is Alfama is a great place and I recommend to anyone (or a couple) who wants to visit Lisbon while avoiding a standard tourist experience. Anything one would need for a comfortable stay is in the apartment, and the location is ideal for walking in and around the neighborhood. Neighbors are friendly and welcoming and if you're lucky you'll hear them making music and get an honest introduction to life in Alfama. Maria José was helpful and accommodating, even when a last minute flight cancellation caused my arrival time to change.
