My niece and I stayed for 3 weeks. Paula is the heart and soul of this cozy and very charming apartment. If you want an immersive Alfama experience, this is it! Paula was extremely responsive and filled us with tips on where to eat and things to do. She and her family also have an amazing story about their lives in Portugal and abroad. My niece and I really appreciated the two real bedrooms for separation and privacy and the well appointed kitchen for cooking and breakfast. The washing machine was a gift. The wifi was very strong and stable - handling Zoom calls and multiple devices with no issue. The location was ideal for us walkers - close to the gorgeous waterfront, viewing points, castles, museums, cathedrals, Graca Comercio, and the Santa Apolonia station - super convenient for Pingo Doce for groceries and taking the train to Porto! Beware that the staircase is as described - truly narrow and steep.
