The area is fantastic, also the bar opposite that has live Fado singers is great. The place is small but does have a nice balcony. It feels more like a hotel room than an apartment. My only pet peeve was how loud the neighbours above were, as is with old Portuguese homes the floorboard are wafer thin so you can hear EVERYTHING. Checking in was fine, and there are some nice places around. Alfama is a great old neighbourhood and very close to the city centre. The Wi-Fi was very average speed wise, enough to get work done. For me it averaged at about 20/mbps. I’d stay if you’re looking for something cheap and convenient in a nice area for a couple days!
