We lived in the apartment for a month. It is on the second floor of an Alfama building, cosy with wooden flooring. The living room overlooks the river whilst the second bedroom balcony has a street view. This means: plenty of light and sunshine! The balcony is a good place to have coffee in the morning, looking at the Tagus. The view spans until the 25th April bridge.
Be warned that the area is hilly, not a problem if you’re ok with walking uphill (free cardio). You may get noise from the occasional neighbours who like to have parties. But overall the area is much more quiet than Baixa. You will often hear the toot toot of boats departing. Seeing those giant cruiseboats sail past is spectacular.
If you wake up early enough you can get food from Break Se, which is just accross the street and enjoy the early sunshine. Otherwise walk 10 minutes along the tram track until Copenhagen coffee shop.
The host (who happens to speak French) is very nice and helpful.
