The studio was perfectly located in the heart of Alfama, with easy access by feet to beautiful spots (Castelo de São Jorge, Feira da Ladra, Miradouro das Portas do Sol etc.), in walking distance to the famous Tram 28 and metro station St. Apolónia!

Bela waited for me patiently at our meeting spot even though I was delayed (sorry again Bela!). The pictures of the room are accurate. The ceiling in the shower is a slanted roof. I’m short (1.65m) so that was not a real issue for me. If you are taller, keep in mind that you maybe have to bend your head a bit while taking a quick shower. The room is as mentioned in the description indeed quite small. As a solo traveller this was not a problem for me (and when in Lisbon there is just too much to see & experience to sit at home ;) ).

I would also recommend a small eatery called “Lisboa Tu e Eu” in the street behind the studio, just around the corner (less than 1 min walk) owned by a charming older lady. Lovely authentic homemade Portuguese food (try the sardines!) with a great homely feeling!

Good location to stay for the real Alfama experience!
