We really enjoyed staying at Monica's flat, it is very comfortable with all you will need and very well located. It was a delight to wander up to the local shops in the morning in search of bread (and other treats) for breakfast. Hardly any other tourists around. We highly recommend a small restaurant 'Carvoeiro'.Turn left in front of Largo Sao Vincente and it's a few hundred yards down the hill.
Just wandering around the Alfama district is a pleasure with amazing views around every corner. Monica's flat provides a great base for an interesting short break.
