This place is a lovely hideout atop a breathtakingly beautiful part of Lisbon. The view of the river from its picture-perfect balcony is worth staying here alone but the entire place is clean, cozy and convenient. All of the furniture and kitchen items seem brand new and even the trek up to the top floor isn't unpleasant considering the building's renovations. The location is perfect for visiting -- it's central and very close to the Metro but not in the heart of the touristy part of the city so being here feels a bit more local. The Alfama neighborhood is peppered with restaurants and the live Fado singing blaring from each one meets you at every turn. We were here on New Years and it was a real treat: the neighborhood was brimming with action yet somehow cozy and unpretentious. Highly recommend this place to vacationers looking to be central but away from the main tourist drag.
