I really enjoyed staying at the cosy apartment of Ana And Rita. I was welcomed by Rita and we had a pleasant chat before I was left on my own to enjoy the view and a bottle of good red wine. From the flat I could explore the lovely Alfama by foot. There is a washing machine, but I washed my clothes by hand, they dried within a day because of the warm weather. The flat is quiet (no noise from the street), but you do hear the neighbours a little bit (which has it's charmes as well). From the flat you can walk down in 5 minutes to the station which takes you anywhere. I can recommend staying here, although it might be a bit pricy for the low budget traveller.
