We were four girls staying at the apartment, and it was just perfect for us! It is furnished in a cosy and tasteful way and is provided with everything you need, and the view over the river is simply incredible.
The Alfama district with its small alleys is lively during the day and the evening thanks to all the typical Fado restaurants, but quiet in the night (in contrast to Barrio Alto for example). It's really near to everything: the castle, the main squares like Praça do Comércio and Rossio, and the districts where the nightlife is more vivid are within walking distance.
The comunication with Joana was uncomplicated and the handover of the apartment worked out very well. If we come back to Lisbon we will definitely stay at her place again!
