We spent five nights in this great little apartment! Enjoyed Lisbon and environs immensely. Be forewarned: Although within walking distance of downtown, Alfama itself is not for the faint of heart. There are pretty much only two directions: either steeply up or steeply down. Fortunately the features of this particular unit were perfect for the location. It was very close to the Castelo S. Jorge and between the Miradourros Sta. Luzia and Igreja da Graça, all which provide excellent views over the city in all directions. The apartment itself overlooks a particularly lively small plaza/intersection with numerous restaurants and cafes.
We were very grateful for the extraordinary soundproofing and air conditioning to help cut out the street noise at night. During the day, opening the French doors allowed for fresh air and the sounds of city life and music the penetrate the rooms. The WiFi did seem spotty in the apartment but it felt like that all over town even though free hotspots were widely available. In any case, there were lots of outlets to plug in phones, tablets, external batteries, laptops, hairdryers, electric curlers, etc in every room. Sarah and Pedro were very accommodating to our requests for guidance and information. They arranged for an airport transfer on arrival and David, our driver who spoke beautiful English, provided a short tour and thorough overview of the city during the ride into town, pointing out sights, suggesting eating places and making recommendations on how to get around. The apartment and their services made for very memorable first trip to Lisboa and Portugal!
