This loft in the heart of Alfama is a real urban treat if you want to be in this section of the city. Catia met us and she was awesome! She spent so much time giving us advice, on which walks to take, where to go for food and music, which streetcars to ride, which places are most worth visiting, and more. She was one of the best things about the entire visit! Thank you, Catia! We found the urban vibe in the apartment was great, like a Tribeca loft in NYC - and we loved the place. DO NOT bring a car to this neighborhood. You cannot drive down Teresa's street and there is nowhere close by to park. We spent our last days in Portugal here and dropped our car at the airport on our way to Lisbon, taking a cab into town from there. It was the right decision. Catia called a cab for us the following morning and the driver arrived right on time with no problems. What a relief that was! The neighborhood (Alfama) is the old, dark, twisting-streets part of Lisbon that remained after the famous earthquake and fire in the 1700s. It is a labyrinth of little cobbled streets that you can wander in search of good food, drink, pastries and Fado music. We loved our evening there and would love to have had more time. If you want something with a kind of city-industrial feel, this is a great space for you. The one bathroom is downstairs from the upstairs-loft area that has the queen sized bed, so if you need a place that has a same-floor bathroom as main bedroom, be aware.
