Monica's apartment is great! I stayed here by myself and felt completely safe in this apartment and neighborhood. The Alfama neighborhood is bustling with activity - so be prepared. It was very charming, and late into the night you can hear Fado singing off in the distance if you keep the windows open. There is a fan in the apartment (I love sleeping with a fan, and its good to drown out any noise, although at night it was very quiet). The location is just perfect for the Alfama neighborhood - and you're steps away from a lookout point --- which I woke up early one morning and popped up to take pictures of the sunrise. Monica was great and I could get a hold of her at any time if I needed.
