Le Flat is tiny and ADORABLE, a perfect spot to explore Alfama with a killer view. Staying there really makes you feel like part of the neighborhood. One afternoon we found ourselves in the center of a locals' celebration (birthday? wedding? not sure!) with great Portuguese music and dancing right outside our window.

Inês is fun and knowledgeable, she made us feel extremely welcome and recommended great restaurants (including my favorite Portuguese dish, bacalhau). Free wine and espresso were very welcome additions.

I would say think twice if you are over 6 ft tall or have mobility problems, as climbing into the loft bedroom is a squeeze, and it is not directly accessible by car.

Overall a nice stay in a great area, as long as you like cozy spaces!
