For those wanting a place with character right in the heart of the Alfalma from which to explore the neighbourhood and the city, you have to consider this place. While on the smaller size, it has the conveniences ou'd want all in a location you can't beat with the a nearby lookout plus minutes from Castelo Sao Jorge.
Luis met us promptly even though we were delayed in getting there from the airport. He provided us with some helpful tips about local restaurants and nearby markets.
Be aware that the neighbourhood is on a steep cobblestones hill in the middle of a lively neighbourhood. The windows and shuttered kept out the most intrusive noises but there's still some noise. We had no problems given the great location and the charm of the apartment & neighbourhood.
Many thanks for hosting us!
