André's apartment in Alfama was everything I was hoping it would be. So cute and just the right size for a solo traveler (or a couple more). The entryway is right through the outdoor patio of a restaurant with live Fado music. So great!!. After the music died down, it was nice and quiet for a good night's sleep. The steps into the apartment are really steep so it is best for those who are mobile. I'm 64 years old and was able to manage them but just a heads up for those who may struggle. It maybe could use a lick of paint but It was clean and tidy and perfect for my stay. The view out of the apartment overlooks the square and it was fun watching the activity.
There's a shortcut up/down the most narrow steps I've ever seen to the street where my early morning taxi to the airport was able to meet me with no troubles. Literally 1 minute away and across from where the cruise ships dock. Super convenient considering how Alfama can be challenging to access by car. I highly recommend André's apartment. I loved it.
