Very nice location in the lower part of the amazing Alfama district, 5 minutes walk from the Se Cathedral and the "eletrico 28" bus stop, 10 minutes from the Santa Apolonia train and metro station, Terreiro do Paço metro station, Praça do Comercio, Baixa, and so on. The apartment is small but cozy, at the second floor of a small building in a little and quiet pedestrian square. One window overlooks on the little square, while the others offer a stunning view of the Tejo river and the Alfama roofs. It was really amazing to pass the time at the window, at every time of the day!! The kitchen is well equipped, and gave us the chance to cook good fish! There are: owen, stove, washing machine, juicer, coffe machine (the italian Moka Bialetti!!), kettle, and so on. Irina was so nice to let us find the basic stuff (such as coffe, tea, sugar, oil, salt) in the apartment, so that we didn't have to buy them for our short stay. The bathroom is very small e quite bare, but there is alway plenty of hot water to have a great shower after a long day of walking in Lisbon! The bedroom is in the attic and has very low ceilings: this is quite unconfortable while you have to move, but it's really cozy and the small window on the roof top offers an amazing view. Despite being located in the heart of Alfama, with plenty of fado restaurants and bars, the apartment is quiet and not so uncofortable to reach: only a small climb and some stairs, which are hard just for the first day, then you'll get used to! ;-)
The area is full of restaurants, but the one Irina recommended us (Maritima da Colunas) was perfect: very good fish and kind staff for a good price!
Thank you Irina and Ricardo: we definitely enjoyed our stay in the romantic flat very much, we felt like at home, and now we have to deal with the "saudade"...!
