Our hosts were very gracious and left us some welcome gifts. Hugo also met us at the flat when we arrived and happily answered our many questions about the area and lisbon. The location of the flat is perfect as a base when exploring Lisbon and is very close to one of the stations for the blue metro line. Guests should be aware that the apartment is situated on an incline from the metro stop and the streets to get to the apartment all have cobbled walkways, as does most of Alfama. However, this does not detract from the convenience of the location.
