Very nice apartment in the old Alfama disctrict in Lisbon - if you are adventurous and want to experience more of the everyday life in the district, you should consider staying there. You will wake up every morning by the buzz of the neighborhood, will look out the window and see the small crowds circling in the cute square nearby where the older residents of the neighborhood sit on the benches and groups of tourists descend from the narrow streets nearby taking photos and looking at maps. The two small restaurants in front of the building cheer up the atmosphere and are worth a visit. The view of the river is remarkable and the buildings nearby offer an unique perspective into one of the most interesting big city old neighborhoods in Europe. We even washed our clothes and hung them on the clothelines in front of the window - the same way the residents of the neighborhood (and in numerous other places in Southern Europe) have been doing for hundreds of years (and still do).
The only word of caution is that the apartment is located on the fourth floor of a walk-up building and if you have a problem of walking up a lot of stairs, you should be aware of this fact - luckily me and my girlfriend were fine with this and managed to enjoy Barbara's apartment for 4 days.
