Our stay in Alfama was nice. It’s a very old part of Lisbon and has so much charm! Close to city center and the train station. There are so many places in Alfama to appreciate with plenty of dining options and shops galore. Coffee house just around the corner and many souvenir shops too. It really comes alive at night!
It was a blessing that Maggie picked us up at the airport in the dark hours because we would have had a difficult time finding the place. Many stairs leading to the unit and some street names are hard to find on maps.
The entrance to the apartment is quite a challenge with very steep narrow steps to the second floor. With our heavy luggage, it took two of us to get it upstairs due to the angle of the stairs. The apartment is cute and very very small which suited us ok. There isn’t really a place to put large luggage except on the floor. If you are elderly, have any mobility issues, or are a large person, just be mindful of the limitation of space and stairs.
The bed was comfortable, more on the form side. Other amenities are as described. We really appreciated Maggie’s tips for sites to see in Lisbon and she is so kind. Quiet part of town which was nice!
Perfect location!
