We had a lovely time in Lissabon and especially in Alfama. The apartment is perfect as a little city getaway, with a separate kitchen, separate living room and separate bedroom . Each room offers great views on the city or the river. Everything is close by, but the street itself is very quiet.
Alfama is an old fishermen's neighborhood, just next to the city centre. There are several restaurants with terraces that organize regularly fado concerts in the real Portugan, non-touristic atmosphere.

Irina and Ricardo are really amazing. Our plane was delayed for more than one hour, which caused to miss our appointment without having the possibility to notify Irina and Ricardo. They adjusted their schedule so that they could be there to welcome us. As we had to leave very early they arranged a taxi pick-up and even called us in the taxi to make sure everything was ok.
(FYI: a taxi from the airport during night hours (21u00-7u00) cost not more than € 11,00)

We would definitely recommend staying in this romantic apartment or the other, family apartment they rent out in Alfama
