Great location if you want to be in the Alfama district. It was close to many restaurants, Fado music and places to view the beautiful old town. The view from the balcony, esp of the cruise ships when they were in dock, was amazing. Taller people may struggle with the lower ceilings in the laundry and the room with the day bed but the rest of the house was fine. We had some very hot days (37 degrees Celsius) where the aircon struggled a little, especially in the bedroom. The hosts provided a terrific guide to all the attractions, incl good restaurants and we tried many of them which we liked. We were very grateful that they accommodated our late checkout on the last day.
