Absolutely loved this little apartment. I wanted to stay in a place that overlooked a busy little community where we could walk to lots of great restaurants and it was exactly that. The full length windows that open out onto the street are great for allowing you to see the hustle and bustle as the local shopkeepers open up in the morning. There are many great restaurants very close by and we even stumbled upon a wonderful Fado performance one night nearby. We found that we liked the Alfama neighborhood so much that, should we return, we may not bother to leave that area to explore the rest of the city. Also, the air conditioning in this apartment works very good. It gets very cold if you want it to be that way. This was a major plus for me.
