This is the most beautiful space we have ever lived in! We loved the staircase and the skylight. Andre was very accommodating and knowledgeable and sat down with us for an hour to explain his favorite parts of Alfama and Lisbon.

The apartment is in a charming building with a great view and it is furnished with more than anything you could possibly want. It is extremely well located in the winding streets of Alfama, with excellent neighborhood restaurants nearby frequented by locals, the last real fishmonger's in Alfama, and an excellent bakery run by an Asian Portuguese. Living there permanently would be awesome - except that that would deprive other people of the chance of enjoying Andre's excellent place!

Can't recommend it enough - go to Lisbon just for the chance to live here!

P.S We got an old vintage camera at the flea market and we are naming it Alfie -- short for Alfama and also a Doctor Who reference. (:
