I flew into Lisbon and took a cab to the Musee de Fado which is within walking distance from the Flat. One of the host's friends met me there and we walked to the flat. Walking is not a good way to describe it... struggling would be better...I was carrying a backpack and dragging a 45 lb suitcase...did I mention it was all uphill on old cobblestone streets...ok ok...I should not be surprised the walk was tough...I am 75. My point...If you are old or not in shape this place is not for you.
About the place ... loved it ... right in the heart of Alfalma, lots of restaurants to eat, very scenic. The place was cute, clean and the bed super comfortable. The view from the second floor was quite interesting.
So ... if you can handle the walk...go for it.
