How does one review a couple of friends? It is not done so easily. We were welcomed warmly and we cooked a delicious dinner together on the first night. We then ate dinner, drank wine and had some very nice conversation. They are both very fun and easy to talk to. Sam knows many languages, and Nuno can get by with his english and french much better than I can with my Portuguese. We went out for drinks and listened to live music after dinner. Samantha is a talented bracelet/necklace maker, or whatever you want to call it, and she made me a custom necklace for a very good price that is super beautiful. She picked just the right colors for me! :D The place was comfortable, had a nice outdoor courtyard and the locals in the area are very friendly. This is a great neighborhood that we loved exploring and also checked out as part of the Free Lisbon Walking Tour which I also suggest you do. Lisbon is awesome, and Alfama is even better if you stay with these two.
