this is a lovely traditional studio appt in Afalma old town. You can expect to hear locals chatting on a small bench below and bursting into song. You are in the middle of the winding cobbled streets, lots of tiny restaurants with amazing value food and great friendly service. If you get lost, people are happy to direct you. There are gift shops with local arts and crafts. Its a very short walk to the museum of Fado which I used for my bearings, and its a short walk (not steep) on the way back.
Sleep - The studio feels very safe and I felt like I was in a room in a larger house rather than on my own. The local bars/restaurants close 11pm ish and there is the noise of the cleaning up (wheelie bins being filled and pulled around) till midnight. It should be expected as you are in such a packed in area and old homes do not have double glazing.
I loved it .
