Carlotta was such a warm and affectionate host! She made us more then welcome with clear instructions on how to use the apartment and indicated things to see in alfama. The apartment is perfect! Small and cozy, clean and comfortable. The view is amazing to watch the trams go by. Bring ear plugs to sleep, it is a noisy corner throughout most of the day and evening but with ear plugs it is just fine. Ensure to have breakfast downstairs at cafe electronico. Sandra the cafe owner is just a beautiful person and will make you want to return time and again. She was the highlight of the trip. The fado music was just incredible!!!! I will return to this apartment again!
