Ricardo's place is very unique because of it's location. Like the title said it is placed in heart of Alfama and Fado. We stayed here one week and where surrounded by great atmosphere. You really feel like a local staying there and you really hear Fado music coming from everywhere. Also there are plenty of authentic restaurants and gift shops in the neighborhood. Also, in 5 minutes walk you have St.Apolonia underground station which connects you with the rest of the city. Besides, Ricardo is a great host. He took us from airport by his car and made a little excursion trough Lisbon which we visited for the first time.
