We were thinking a lot on where to stay: we were glad we choose the Alfalma and we really liked Jose's apartment: you are close to restaurants and mini-supermarkets. you are close to the metro station if need to. From the apartment you can easily start to explore and walk around the Alfalma to the viewpoints, the Castelo or get lost in the old town. It's around 10 Min walk to the Praca do Comerico - so all is really easy to access. Keep in mind whereever you are in the Alfalma you will walk a lot of steps: as the "Streets" are stair cases and then you have more stairs inside the house. Jose was super nice and picked us up at the airport, making it super easy for us and showed us where good restaurants are - as well has great tips on what to do. Thanks a lot for everything. our only regret we didn't stay long enough.
