A small apartment in Alfama, great for two persons. Location is ideal, it’s easy to find the apartment and you can easily explore Alfama and its sights. E.g. Miradouro de Santa Luzia, Sé de Lisboa and Castelo de S. Jorge are quite near (be prepared to climb uphill, though). Public transport to other parts of the city is also quite near, Estacion Santa Apolonia for the metro, bus stops and tram in Alfama are all just a few minutes’ walk away. The walk to Baixa is about 15 minutes.
The apartment itself was small and in an old house, yet the apartment had everything you need during the stay in Lisbon. The kitchen is well equipped so it’s possible to prepare meals by yourself. The building is old, so you should take that into consideration, e.g. the stairs are steep and the hallway is narrow.
Nuno wasn’t in town when we arrived but he had arranged a friend of his to greet us and everything worked out perfectly. His friend gave us all the instructions we needed for the apartment and was very helpful.
Communication with Nuno was easy thanks to his fluent English. He also gave us useful tips.
All in all, a very nice apartment and I would recommend this for a couple and for someone who wants to experience life in Alfama.
