Thanks to Ernest for meeting us when we arrived! The apartment was a little small but nothing unexpected and as listed. The staircase to the 3rd floor, where the apartment was, was very narrow and quite a challenge but all part of the adventure! The view is gorgeous and fantastic - best for a summer's day and even on slightly cold autumn nights. Wish we had planned better and had more time to just soak in the Alfama atmosphere. Location was very convenient! Alfama has lots to explore but is quite hilly so be prepared for exercise. Can get iffy / dodgy at night as it is quite and dark in some places... Lastly, watch out for the cabs in Lisbon, especially from the airport. Take heed of Ernest's advice about fare. We got off to rocky start cos of bad taxi diver who tried to cheat us with a 'special' airport tax when arriving. Had to pay him double usual fare just to get our bags out of the cab. Don't get in if you don't feel comfortable or confirmed that it is just metered fare...
