This is a great place to stay! Alfama is a charming neighborhood with lots to explore. I loved to sit by the open the window at night to peoplewatch and listen to laughter and music from nearby restaurants. The apartment is cozy and beautiful. My favorite part is Elena’s (the host’s) own artwork on every wall. Her and her friend were so friendly and communicative leading up to and throughout the trip.
Just a note for people with mobility issues: the stairs are very steep, the loft area with the bed has a short ceiling, the neighborhood is very hilly and has uneven ground. If these things are not a problem for you then it is well worth it. I highly recommend staying here and hope to come again myself!
