Teresa and her son Pedro greeted us in the apartment. It is clean, well decorated, on the first floor (very important to us as we have big suitcases with us). The train station to Porto and the metro station are right around the corner which is very convenient. There is a steep but very short slope from the station to the apartment, we were a bit freaked out on the taxi when we arrived there on the first day. Alfama area is very hilly, we are glad and luck to stay in an apartment on the first slope. We had two ladies at their 60s in this trip and they could manage the slope without problem, so can you. Teresa and Pedro gave us many travel tips. Thanks a lot. :)
