We were looking for a place to stay in the Alfama that wasn't too hilly, yet was close to all the sights. Helena's place was perfect! The apartment was light and airy, with large windows in the living room and kitchen tat had a great view of the water. It was a very short and easy walk from the ferry terminal/Metro stop at Terreiro do Paco and from the main streets of the Baixa. Sitting just a block below the Se, it was handy for the trams and tuk-tuk stops outside the cathedral, making it a great base to get anywhere in the city. Tucked into a cul de sac, it was quiet at night, and yet when we walked out the door we felt like we were right in the middle of things. Helena recommended a few great restaurants just steps away, and was the perfect host in all respects. She arranged transfers from the airport, was very responsive by text and email during our visit, and showed us several kindnesses that we really appreciated. The apartment was extremely clean and light filled with beautiful wood floors and stylish but uncluttered furnishings. It felt roomy for the four of us, and would have been comfortable for six as well. The kitchen was well outfitted with everything we needed; the washer/drier in the second bathroom was very handy; the entry, lobby, and staircase were clean and secure; and the elevator was a great plus for luggage. Would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Lisbon!
