We had a great time at Alex and Pedro's apartment in the Alfama district. The apartment was really nice, full of character, spacious and clean. Our plane arrived at 8 am in the morning and Alex was kind enough to meet us at 11 so we would have somewhere to put our bags while we waited for the apartment to get cleaned from the previous tenant.
We happened to be there while the big festival was going on, and although the music was pretty loud at night, closing the windows and the wooden shutters helped a lot to keep most of the noise out, and we really enjoyed being a part of the big festivities. The Portuguese people definitely knows how to party. We would really recommend staying at Alex & Pedro's place.
