Elena's place is right in the heart of Alfama - a fantastic area with great food, cosy bars and small old streets with a lot of charm. The apartment is lovely - very cosy, and full of character, with beautiful views over the river. Elena was very helpful, and the check-in - with her friend Goncalo - was incredibly smooth. Goncalo gave us a lot of useful knowledge about the area, and helped us to organise a taxi when we were leaving. I would certainly stay here again.
