Why the Owner Chose Lisbon
Lisbon is a very charming old world city, not on the regular tourist trail. It has lots of outdoor cafes on every street. The art, music and food of Portugal is found in abundance in Lisbon, the capital. I chose the Alfama neighborhood because of it's ancient feel, tiny streets with very few cars, people who have lived there for many generations keeping their old traditions. You are in the city and at the same time in a tiny village with an atmosphere of another time. I am a painter and find the city beautiful and inspiring.
The Unique Benefits of this Apartment
The apartment is a 3 minute walk to the River Tejo, the large river that runs through Lisbon to the Atlantic. It is a short trip to Estoril beaches by public transport. The # 28 Electrico (tram) which is one minute walk from the door, takes you on an enchanting ride through the tiny streets and hills across Lisbon. You don't need a car in Lisbon, public transport and taxis are very abundant and not expensive. Lisbon is a "secret" city that lives on it's own time. Portuguese people revere their quality of life, which I have found emphasizes eating good fresh food (excellent fish) and drinking the wines of the country, which is another wonderful discovery.

This is the first time I really had some time to write to you. Our stay in Alfama was W O N D E R F U L!!!!! Your apartment is in such a great location. We did most of what we planned to do and did lots of things that we had not anticipated doing. All our experiences were so positive. We found a great local, not touristy, fado place. We had a couple of great meals in local tashkas (phonetic spelling) that were close by your place. For now I just wanted you to know how nice of a time we had staying at your apt.
