Our host Rita has been very kind and swift in communication before and during our stay. She even picked us up at the airport even though it was a late flight which we appreciated very much. We immediately felt at home in the apartment. We stayed in Swallows Nest I for a whole week and were happy with the location. The room was clean and nicely furnished with everything we needed, including some refreshments for our first night. Alfama is a very charming quarter of Lisbon, although the narrow alleys can be a bit loud at times. Train services, metro and bus stations are just 5 min away and easy to reach, the city centre is just a 15 min walk away. Definitely a very recommendable place.
