We received a warm welcome from Juan who provided lots of local information, a detailed map and great recommendations. He also made reservations at a restaurant for us to see Fado, which we really enjoyed. The apartment is lovely, very nicely renovated with all amenities for a comfortable stay. The square is charming and lively and the Alfama location is a great base for seeing the sights of Lisbon. That said, it is important to secure all windows when leaving or sleeping in the apartment. We unfortunately had an intruder enter an open second floor window who was scared off when we awoke. We were not hurt and nothing was taken. The rest of our stay, with all windows and shutters locked at night, was uneventful. Overall we enjoyed our stay and we would not hesitate to return.
