Lisbon Blue is the perfect place to stay if you want to soak up the atmosphere of Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest suburb. There is Fado music in the street and Elsa’s apartment is in easy walking distance of key sites such as Castelo Sao Jorge, the main square and city centre, and trams to Belem for Pasteis de Nata tarts and the Timeout food markets. The apartment was spotless and well equipped with a washing machine, air conditioner, hair dryer etc and double glazed windows (when you’ve had enough of the Fado music!)
