Sofia and Erina's place is in the heart of Alfama. You reach the apartment after following some of the windy streets up, this gives you a chance to take in the majesty of the area. During the month of June, the festival of San Antonio occurs, and Alfama gets very lively, with pop-up eateries and drink stalls. This means you're at the heart of the action, but does mean you have to endure some noise. The apartment is well stocked for a few days in Lisbon, the stairs can be a bit tricky with a large suitcase, but they're manageable. The views over the water are fantastic and the air conditioning helps tremendously after a long day of sigh seeing. It's a short walk to the nearest metro and train station.
