My boyfriend and I stayed at Rita's for 4 nights, 3 days. Being in Alfama was a conscious decision. In February, this wasn't the most vibrant place to be but it was very cosy with the small streets and few touristy restaurants. Rita's place is exactly as pictured - clean, light and airy. Perfect for up to two persons. We took the taxi from airport and cost 10 euros. It goes all the way up to the house! For rest of the days, metro is 10 mins away (a bit steep). The famous thieve's market is very close. There are a few small grocery shops right next door and nice restaurants a few 100mts away. As everyone else, we also got a really good bottle of wine and chocolates on arrival. Great coffee too in the cupboard. Thank you Rita for a wonderful stay!
