We had a lovely time exploring Lisbon having Irina and Ricardo's flat as a base. It is ideally located in the Alfama. A friend of Irina and Ricardo, Sophia, lead us to the flat and did a great job at welcoming us despite our mutual lack of common languages. We thought the flat was perfect for us but also imagined it would be difficult for taller people (we are both under 1.75m) to fit in some areas. The tight shower could also be an issue. Otherwise we loved the views from the apartment and the easy access to restaurants, mini-supermarkets and bakeries. Thanks again for the opportunity to experience the Alfama!
