First of all, Alfama is where you want to be in Lisbon! For an American, it was a truly unique experience to stay in such an ancient neighborhood. Odon's place is on a narrow lane where cars can't go, just across from a lovely cafe that serves delicious pastries and coffee, and there are lots of other restaurants in the immediate vicinity. It's a quick hike up several flights of steps to the Largo Portas do Sol and not much farther to the Castelo Sao Jorge. The apartment is a duplex on the top two floors of the building, so there's plenty of sunlight and air, as well as a view of the water over the rooftops from the second floor. (The stairs to the flat are tall and quite steep, however; something that people should be aware of.) The fixtures and decor are new and modern and the place was very clean when we arrived. The kitchen is nicely equipped with a Keurig-type coffee maker, electric kettle and toaster. There were staples in the pantry, including coffee, pasta and other shelf-stable products. The two bathrooms were also supplied with shampoo, conditioner and body wash, which was very much appreciated. The beds were comfortable and plenty of pillows were provided. Odon was a great host, promptly responding to our inquiries and requests. This was a perfect situation for our family of four adults. We had a terrific stay and hope to return some day.
