Perfect place. This is exactly in the right area. Alfama is a wonderful area to explore and is the perfect base to duscover Lisbon. This apartment is essentially in the beating heart of Alfama.
The apartment is up a small flight if stairs in a traditional building. It is a good sized one bedroom apartment with full amenities. It was spotless clean. Not a spec of dust anywhere. Whether you want to cook or not, the kitchen if fully loaded with everything you need. The bed was very comfortable.
We chose to sleep with the windows open during the cool nights and on the wind you coyld hear the Fado music, the people living, the whole breath of the city. It was never a noise, but a song.
Bruno was immediately responsive when we contacted him. Lena, who runs the shop below is a wonderful woman, very friendly and helpful. She let us in and gave us the key to the apartment. We had the most interaction with Lena's guys in the shop. Everyday we were in there for something and every time they were full of smiles and conversation. They and everyone here made is feel welcome. So much so, that my wife and i commented for the first time that it didnt feel like we left a place to stay. It felt like we left home.
We plan on this place the next time we are in Lisbon and we highly recommend staying here. It is our first choice.
