With its steep ladder steps up to the mezzanine and again to the roof terrace this apartment has a special feeling. The roof terrace really makes it. The jacaranda tree was flowering above it when we were there, looking and smelling amazing!
This is a great location for discovering the Alfama area - you can walk out the door and simply start wandering. You can also walk easily to the central area.
If you want to explore the Belem area (tower, monastery, pasteis de Belem etc) there is a cheap bus very close that takes about 30 minutes, depending on the traffic.
We arrived at about 1.30am and were tired and lost. Ricardo was waiting for us and actually came to find us. He was very kind and friendly and we really appreciated this. They also allowed us to leave our cases in the apartment on our last day as we had an early evening flight. Thanks Ricardo and Anna!
