This is such a lovely spot with sunlight, people-watching and easy access to everything. You’re a 5 minute walk from the water, 10 minutes from the touristy areas, and 25ish to everywhere else. We especially loved the neighborhood; Alfama is picturesque in such a simple, lovely way. The hosts had great communication before and during our stay, too. There’s great security, it’s clean and has all the things you need. I could have stayed longer! It’s a little more than other spots in Alfama, but I think it’s worth it. The location is just divine.
Word to the wise: this place is much smaller than I anticipated! It’s the attic level, so slanted ceilings and low roofs. My buff boyfriend is 6 foot and just hit the top of the shower and had some trouble turning, lol! It wasn’t a big deal though— especially for 5’2 me! (There’s also no closet storage, if that’s important to you. For us though, it didn’t matter.) It’s cozy— bigger and sunnier than your average hotel room, too.
All in all, such a great stay! I’d definitely stay in this exact room again alone. With my partner... are two other spots on the same building. If I’d known about the super low ceilings, I would have booked one of the other two rooms just to give him a little more space.
