We loved our stay in the apartment. It is very spacious and clean, and had fantastic views over the river from the bedroom and views over Alfama from the living room. Communications with Susana during the booking process were swift and she also provided us with helpful recommendations about restaurants and bars to visit.
In Alfama itself, there are loads of restaurants within a few minutes walk of the apartment, and also a small food store nearby at the top of the hill and a bakery a short distance further down the 'alley'. It is about 10-15 minutes walk to the main part of town-unfortunately uphill at the way back but is a good way to work off all the Pasteis de Nata! It is easy to get to all the main Old Town attractions from the apartment on foot if you don't mind walking (although be careful on Lisbon's cobbled pavements...they can be lethal!!) but there is a No 28 tram stop very close by if you do. We would recommend a visit to Sintra if you have time, which is 30 minutes away by train from Rossio Station.
We had a great holiday in Lisbon and the apartment was the perfect place to stay. Thanks Susana!
