The place is situated at the Martim Moniz -Alfama area, with plenty of Benghal/Indian and Chinese places around, as well as some nice and hip cafes. Since it is at the bottom of the hill with all the vistas and the castle, it is great for tourists that want to avoid the bars of Bairro Alto and enjoy a more multi-cultural neighborhood.
The place itself is spotless clean, and has a well-equipped kitchen. Be aware that privacy is a bit limited, which makes sense as it is a converted apartment and shared place.
Raphael is very responsive and the whole place is charming and well-organized without feeling too generic. Recommended!
