This was a perfect base for our family of 4 to explore Alfama from! The hosts were charming and let us know about the sardine festival with happenings right outside the balcony. When we wanted to black out light and noise to rest after a full day of travel, we were pleased to find the windows could be closed real tight to be dark and quiet! When we were ready to tour in the day, it could easily change to be bright and comfy. Thanks for the experience!
