We had a great visit in Lisbon. For what we needed, Sergio's apartment was great. We preferred the twisting little alleyways, little traditional cafes and crumbling charm of Alfama over the touristy feel and rude service of Bairro Alto. We spent a great deal of our time exploring the neighbourhood near the apartment, taking in the great views and finding amazing little local restaurants--like a simple Mozambican place called Cantinho do Aziz only a 5 minutes stroll down the hill from Sergio's apartment. Great food, excellent service and perfect atmosphere. There are countless bakeries to grab some pastel de natas and an espresso for breakfast or a ginja cocktail for an after-dinner drink. From the airport to his apartment took only 35 minutes via public transit. It was a great trip and we look forward to our next opportunity to visit.
