The sort of place that threatens the traditional hotel industry. Well located, well equipped, light and airy and very spacious (although accommodating 8 would be challenging - it was perfect for us and our 2 grown up sons). Really nice to have basic provisions waiting for us = and there's a minimarket just downstairs. Only problem is very steep stairs to access the flat. Not a good place to choose if you have mobility difficulties - but in that case you probably shouldn't be in Lisbon and certainly not the Alfama quarter
