This was our last stop in Portugal. We had rented a car for our travels and needed a place to park. Finding parking in the neighborhood was very difficult, but we found one that was a 12 minute walk from the apartment (the apartment is only accessible on foot). We wandered uphill around Alfama with our luggage for 20 minutes before finding the place. We finally arrived stressed and exhausted and hot (no AC). The view from the balcony was great, but not sure it was worth the effort.
