Carolina's apartment is in a perfect location, right in the heart of Alfama. We loved lying in the hammock on the balcony and watching the world go by. There are many local restaurants to try, including good options if you are vegan like us (Yak and Yeti Nepalese restaurant just nearby is amazing). All the facilities in the apartment were excellent quality, with a nice hot shower, coffee machine, cable TV and even some washing powder to use and some fruit in the fridge. We stayed with our two teenage boys and there was plenty of room for all of us. When we arrived, Carolina's friend took the time to show us many of the tourist attractions on the map and how to get there by public transport, which added a special touch. We are looking forward to coming back in the future.
