We really enjoyed our time in Ricardo´s Aparment in Alfama, Lisbon. His friend picked us up in front of the house and helped us with our luggage (the stairs are very narrow - I have never seen stairs like this!), showed us the flat and gave us some tipps about lisbon! The apartment is small, but big enough for 2. we really enjoyed cooking ourselfs and having dinner at the little balcony and listen to Fado music from the next restaurant downstairs. What my boyfriend did not like that much, was that he always had to bend down with his head because of the low walls in the rooms (I had no problem with that ;-))
Furthermore we think that the bathroom was a little to small and not very comfortable. But that´s really okay if you are only staying some days.
So, all in all it was a great experience to live in this part of the city! The flat was like a little oasis for us! :-)
