The location is just perfect.. Unless you have trouble walking or climbing stairs because you are on a pedestrian only street (although taxis are very close by)... Other than that, you cannot ask for a better feel of Alfama and Lisbon! The apartment was sparkling clean, well furnished, had great views and was close to all the main attractions. There were great restaurants around and it was a pleasure to get lost in the wonderful alleys of Alfama! There is also a self-laundry place right up the town stairs about 1 minute away.. Ana, our host was fast to answer, honest, caring and gave great advice.. I would not hesitate to recommend this charming apartment.
