Comfortable apartment in an ideal location close to the lively Alfama district, but on a secluded square that sees little traffic. The listing accurately reflects the apartment and the location; and I would stay there again.
I was there during the Covid-19 confinement.
Some things to know, which may be positives or negatives for you:
The apartment:
The bedroom is in the middle of the apartment, separating the living room and bathroom. If someone will be using the sofa bed, they'll have to go through the bedroom to get to the kitchen and bathroom.
TV stations somewhat limited. Lots of choices for children, not quite as many for adults.
Wifi appears to be shared for a few apartments; wasn't a problem when I was there, but might be if everyone is using it at once.
You'll be walking up 49 steps from the front door.
No freezer and no oven, but the kitchen is otherwise reasonably furnished in standard IKEA fashion.
The neighborhood:
Only a three minute walk from the Mercado do Santa Clara — the flea market on Tuesdays and Saturdays.
The winding, twisting streets of the Alfama are just on the other side of the Saõ Vicente Church...wonderful just to walk through, but I imagine it's quite a bit livelier during "normal" times.
Right across the street from a church with an assertive ringing of the hours (when I was there, both at the top of the hour and exactly 2 minutes later).
The 28E tram is 45 seconds away.
Grocery stores within 5-10 minutes walk up the hill; neighborhood markets closer.
A 10-minute up-and-down walk to the Castelo Saõ Jorge.
