We were met by Debra, who works with Ana. She was very welcoming, friendly and helpful and went out of her way to answer our questions and give advice about the local area and Lisbon as a whole.

Alfama is a fantastic district, I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in Lisbon - it felt like the most genuine place we went to during our stay, although I am sure there are also many more good parts to the city.

The apartment would be perfect for two people to stay, and is walking distance to most places although if you prefer the tram is very close and the metro is about 10 minutes walk. Everything was as described, it was clean and comfortable and there is plenty of information about the features of the flat - however we didn't spend much time there anyway.

Initially the small alleys seem confusing or intimidating but after a few days you will be completely used to them! We preferred to stay in a quieter back street than the louder areas we walked through, at the weekend the area outside was buzzing until quite late though - which we thought was a good thing.
