We were running late for our meet up with Jorge as we got off at the wrong station and the taxi driver didn't know Largo Menino Deus - but we got there and Jorge was wonderfully welcoming. He gave us a tutorial on the apartment. He had planned to do a walk around the neighbourhood with us but time was against us.
The apartment was bright, neat, quiet, spacious and quite central with everything we needed for a wonderful stay.
Alfama is part of the old town and is charming and interesting with narrow winding streets and wonderful views. The number 15 and 28 trams which go to the city centre run by the street at the end of the lane with high frequency.
If you get an invite to watch Jorge play at a local restaurant don't miss it and look out for Bistro & Brecho Gato pardo on Rua de Sao Vicente nearby.
