We booked this gorgeous apartment hoping that the actual experience somewhat resembled the photos. In fact it exceeded our expectations in every way. Some folks had cautioned that to stay in Alfama would mean that you’d be in a vibrant part of town but that it could possibly be loud due to late night Fado music etc. This is not the case at Joanne’s apartment. It is perfectly tucked around a corner so totally quiet inside, yet you step out the door to a full neighborhood of activity. It’s the cleanest place we have ever stayed as well as full of thoughtful touches and comfortable beds and lovely views. We highly recommend it. It would be tough to stay elsewhere in Lisbon, once we go back. Plus Joanne is quick to reply to email or message questions. So great!
