My sister and I loved staying in Marisa's apartment in Alfama. I slept in the living room pull-out couch and my sister stayed in the bedroom in the queen size bed. The location could not be better. We walked to most places, only taking the subway or bus when needed (unfortunately we did not catch a tram, as they were pretty crowded each time we tried!) Lots of restaurants within walking distance (try Rio Coura), and the most incredible mirodouro (view) of the city within a 5 minute (uphill) walk. The apartment is in a very old part of town - you really feel like you are living like a local. It should be noted that the bathroom is tiny if you are tall, but typical of a lot of European apartment bathrooms. We appreciated the water pressure! Our favorite aspect was enjoying a cup of good ol' American drip coffee at the apartment before heading out to start our day with another bica (espresso) and pastel de nata! I've traveling a great day and Lisbon exceeded all my expectations.
