This is a gem of a place, as beautiful and even more whimsical than it appears in the photos. The location is perfect and within comfortable and very interesting walking distance to all the places we'd hoped to explore in and around Alfama. Although the flat is small, it does not feel cramped at all. The four sets of double doors leading out the the narrow balcony let in lots of light and fragrant breeze and the view along the harbour front and overlooking the Alfama neighbourhood is spectacular. We were very warmly welcomed by our host who let us in and showed us around this gorgeous little apartment. The street is lively with restaurants, some with the Fado singing in the evening, but the apartment is super quiet and peaceful for sleeping. We spent quite a bit of time in the evenings enjoying the views from the narrow balcony, five floors up. If you are looking for a place in Alfama, you'll love this!
