Technically not Alfama, but Mouraria. A bit edgier so be wary. Hilly area so hard on folks with mobility challenges. The apartment is a 2 floor walk up. That said, it was clean and well appointed. The bed is quite firm but still comfy, but may not suit everyone. Space heaters on site for cooler months. Some minor issues with fixtures not working but we trust those will be resolved as we let her know. The upper terrace is a highlight. Just mind your head going up. Location is very close to where the sightseeing trams (12 and 28) start, and a short walk further to the city tour buses. The Rossi train station is also nearby so it makes a side trip to Sintra easy. There are a few mini convenience stores very close for food and beverages but we would recommend going back to Martim Moniz Square (5 minutes walk) and get things at Continente.

We enjoyed our stay and found the proximity to restaurants, metro and sight seeing areas excellent

The balcony is nice, the kitchen is well stocked, and the location is perfect—just outside the loudest, most touristy areas, but central to everything. I really liked it here!

Great location with an unbeatable private rooftop
