We loved our stay in Alfama and we were there during the sardine festival. There was a lot to do and see and it gave us a glimpse into the culture of Lisbon. The location of this apartment is great! It's close to many restaurants, bars and main city attractions. There is a wonderful pasty shop across the street and a restaurant below the apartment. We really enjoyed our visit and JB always got back to us quickly with answers to our questions.
