Taxi's won't navigate the narrow Alfama streets, so if you take a taxi from the airport (if we returned, we would use the easy to navigate metro) you'll be dropped off 5 minutes walk away. In order to easily find the address, I would recommend printing off a detailed map of the immediate area.

Maria was patiently waiting for us when we arrived. Our check in process was quick. Her English was great enough to communicate a check out process and she was willing to help accommodate our baggage after our check out.

The house itself is smaller than the photos show, but everything else is completely accurate. It's beautifully and vibrantly decorated. It would have comfortably fit three adults. The kitchen is well equipped. We had everything we needed.

The neighborhood exceeded expectations. We walked everywhere easily, and the famous trolley line is easily accessible from the apartment.

We had no trouble with noise; we felt very safe. We would recommend this to our friends and we would stay here again.
