Fantastic location and impeccable space. We especially enjoyed exploring the neighborhood. Everything you need is within walking distance: a cafe and mini market are just outside the front door, and open long hours. Grocery store and lovely bakeries and charcuteries about 10 minutes walk up the hill. Restaurants are everywhere, the only thing to do is choose. Museums, churches, etc. Alfama is truly a gem. The apartment is surprisingly quiet considering how central it is, very minimal street noise. The view from the loft is breathtaking. Only minor drawbacks included the stairs (we were super jetlagged so they were a bit killer to lug suitcases up) and the upstairs ceiling was a bit low for my husband, who is 6 feet. But these were very minor and didn't take away from our enjoyment of the space. Graça is lovely and helpful and we highly recommend her as a host!
