Susana and Julian were great hosts and the apartment itself is beautiful. The pictures are accurate. I stayed for over a month and found it to be very comfy. The bathroom and kitchen are spacious and there's a space to work too. The internet was good. Just a heads up to anyone who struggles to walk up flights of stairs or who doesn't like sleeping in enclosed spaces (the bed is a "loft" style and very close to the roof - you take a ladder up and down) ... could be difficult but I found it easy enough. The area in Alfama is cute with the water view and a great cafe downstairs.
