Absolutely ideal flat. The location at the foot of Alfama is perfect for exploring the old town and indeed heading into more central Lisbon - you can go everywhere by foot. Alfama is beautiful, you can even hear fado being practiced and performed from the flat in the afternoon / evenings. The flat itself is incredibly spacious and felt very luxurious, with a really lovely design. All of our communication with the host was rapid, and they made checking in and out very easy. The balcony, although quite narrow, provides a gorgeous view; we loved having both doors open and just looking out at the river. Even the five floors you have to climb to get to the flat seemed to melt away after the first couple of ascents. There are some lovely bars and restaurants downstairs, and a few mini-markets nearby. We couldn't recommend this place highly enough.
