Lisbon Hideouts Rua Sao Miguel apartment is in a perfect location to experience the atmosphere of Alfama. Everything is very close, and there's a friendly little shop 20 metres from the front door up the street on the same side of the road. Alfama can be a bit noisy, but that's part of the appeal, and you can always shut the windows to reduce the decibels. Joao (John) is a great host, and gave good advice and tips for our stay. We highly recommend this accommodation.
