We had an amazing time staying in this apartment right inside the heart of the Alfama district! It's a great location for those wanting an authentic experience in Lisbon. Great, twisty streets that are not big enough for cars and easy walking distance to many sites. We happened to be in town for the local street festival -- which was a fun spectacle to behold. The streets were adorned with brightly coloured streamers, flooded with people and tables full of people enjoying amazing cuisine. We had a memorable evening eating, drinking and meeting many locals! The hosts were very gracious -- lovely people to coordinate with and very hospitable. Would definitely recommend.
