We were welcomed by Hugo’s friend Vitor who helped us to get to the apartment as our taxi driver got lost in Alfama’s streets. The apartment was perfectly clean, the rooms are nicely decorated, the bed was comfortable, but the pillows were too hard, Wi-Fi was fast. The windows of the living room overlook the river and nice old rooftops. The kitchen has all the necessary equipment, a bottle of wine was left for us as a welcome gift. The neighbourhood is not so quiet at night: you can hear all the fado singers from the nearby restaurants not even leaving the apartment. Also it was hard to find any good supermarket nearby. The tram 28 stops very closely to the house, but you can get to the major sights of the city by foot also. The window of the kitchen opens to the small internal court where three quite big dogs of the neighbours were living. They barked sometimes loudly and we couldn’t open the kitchen window without letting in the smell from the dogs, that was annoying.
