Helena's place was nice and cosy and it had all the equipment and facilities we needed. The location is great if you like a tourist-friendly area of the city. Alfama is cute with narrow streets and small quiet alleys, but on the main street there is quite a lot of traffic. There are many restaurants, cafés and souvenir shops but not so many grocery stores (good to know if you like to cook in the apartment). The apartment is near the route of famous tram line 28, which was great for us as we are tram enthusiasts :)
