João's place is located right in the old town of Alfama and is very charming. It's on the first floor and thus there isn't much in the way of light coming into the unit, but I didn't mind it. The line 28 tram is right outside the main entrance, which I liked a lot, although it meant you could hear it running on its tracks every time it passes by. The neighbourhood is very safe even at night, and there are a couple good restaurants, including the one right beside the apartment.
