The location within Alfama is amazing; everything is in walking distance and we only took buses to Sintra and Belem. Trams pass by the house frequently and may sound loud in the day, but will stop at night, so noise is not a problem. For winter travelers, rest assured that the heaters and blankets provided are more than enough to keep you warm. Ana and Fatima provide a range of restaurant recommendations; but if you're looking to cook, the kitchen is also functional and we enjoyed using it!
