The apartment is beautiful and the pictures don't show off just how great the view is. We loved living in the old city of Alfama for a few days, where you can open the balcony doors and listen to the beautiful sounds of fado singers carry into the apartment. We were greeted by Hugo's wonderful wife and Hugo was in contact with us throughout the trip. The apartment is a short walk to most of the important sites, and the area is a blast to explore!
We had him order us a taxi to the airport, which only cost about €11. The only thing, Alfama is a very hilly and the apartment is on the 5th floor with no elevator, so if you are older or have knee problems, I might recommend not staying in Alfama. It was a perfect place for us though and I would not stay anywhere else!
