This cool apartment has a great location, you simply open the door and step directly out in the narrow streets of Alfama. It does not get any more authentic than having to look outside for old women sitting in the street talking to each other before opening the door. The owner was very accommodating, and explained everything we needed to know to get started in Lisboa. If you arrive by car, I would recommend contacting the host beforehand - or simply stay out of the Alfama area on four wheels altogether. The streets are very narrow, and can be crowded by people as well as trams, cars and scooters. Other than that, I have only good things to say about this experience.
