Ema’s apartment is in a great part of Alfama. We only had one day in Lisbon, and we were able to walk everywhere from the apartment and there are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby. It is very cute and we didn’t mind being on the ground floor at all. You can hear the upstairs apartment sometimes but it didn’t bother us. Ema was very detailed in her explanations and always available for questions. We would definitely stay again.
