Alfama district is our favourite part of Lisbon and the location of "Traveller's Nest" was perfect for us. Spacious, relaxing, with wonderful views looking east towards São Vicente de Fora and Panteão Nacional de Santa Engrácia and, from the bedroom, towards the River Tagus.

You may struggle with the steep hills and many stepped 'Becos' (alleys) of Alfama for the first day or two but by the end of the week your legs will have grown strong muscles! The apartment is on the 3rd floor too, so that helps! ;-)

We had an interesting assortment of weather (November) with a mix of grey skies, sunny intervals, rain, a very foggy morning and then two days of HOT sun and blue sky.

It was our second stay with Susana in Lisbon and it was like meeting a friend again! Susana is a great host, very warm and friendly, and responds quickly to any queries you may have. We can't wait to meet up with her again!
