If you like the apartment in the photos, you will enjoy your stay there! The description is very accurate and Carla & Joao are very reliable hosts. If you need anything, don't hesitate to write them! The apartment is at the second floor without elevator, which is pretty common in the historical neighborhood of Alfama. Plenty of restaurants and small tavernas (many of them offer Fado) in the immediate vicinities, as well as the Se Cathedral, the Museu do Fado, the Saramago Foundation, and Castle St. George. Besides, the stop of bus 728 is not far: running mostly along the River Tagus from Restelo to Portela, this bus will bring you to Praca do Comercio, Belem, Cais do Sodre, Museu de Arte Antiga, Gare do Oriente, and Parque das Nacoes, where the Oceanarium is. It serves also Santa Apolonia train and metro station, but you can also reach this station on foot. If you want to be RIGHT in Alfama, where the action is, this is the place! However, you should be aware that cabs cannot arrive at the door and there are stairs almost everywhere, so the best way to move around is on foot. I highly recommend this apartment!
