We've had a lovely week long stay at Carolina's apartment, where we experienced a touch of the "real" Alfama life. The apartment is small but very nice, with all comforts you'd need (including a drier for clothes!). The highlight of the apartment is the upstairs bedroom, with a marvelous window from which you can glance at the see, wake up by a warm morning sunlight (should you wish so, otherwise there are curtains!) and hear the seaguls hovering the sea. We've never met Carolina but communicated through message and she's always been extremely responsive and caring. Highly recommended!
