Lovely apartment in the Alfama. 2 minute walk to Ste Apolonia station to take you by car, bus or metro all over. Grocery store right across the street to stock up on supplies. We ate and drank in the evenings right down the street at non touristy places. Everyone was super friendly. The apt only has a washer, no dryer, but don't let that deter you as it spins the clothes so well, everything dried on a rack overnight. Showers had plenty of hot water and great pressure. Paulo is a great host, very helpful. Our only complaint was the beds. They were comfortable but very low to the ground, about 12 " off the floor. But we are pretty tall, so that may not bother others. Definitely NOT a deal breaker! Beautiful views from the front and back.
