We enjoyed our brief stay in Alfama very much. You really are situated in a good place to potter around the district and take in the local life as well as the tourist stuff. It is a bit of a drag to get the luggage to the apartment but , once there, it's ideal for two people, stylish and very well equipped. Daniela gave us a good welcome and useful tips. Lucinda's restaurant is close by and is good for inexpensive local food. An old lady sells Ginjinha (noisily) at the top of the steps.
