A nice location in the Alfano section of Lisbon. Simone has great recommendations for restaurants and such. We enjoyed a wonderful meal at Taberna Sal Grosso (reserve ahead). The apartment is small but well-stocked. Unfortunately, we had some hiccups. We arrived on a Saturday evening and stayed four nights. The electricity went out the first evening and we were without power all night until we were able to figure out (with Simone’s help) how to reset the power Sunday morning. However, the breakers kept tripping and we were without heat until Monday, and even after that it was hard to keep the room at a comfortable temperature (we are from Minnesota so our heat needs are not extravagant). Although the area around the apartment was quite tranquil, Saturday night we were awoken several times by fairly loud singing (apparently outside the apartment), which continued until 5 am Sunday morning.
The second bedroom is a loft, which was not ideal for privacy and ease as there are narrow steps leading up and ceiling beams that we kept bumping into.
