The location and price are great points. The washer was an added bonus. Given that it is in the heart of Alfama, if you are a light sleeper this location might not be ideal as noises from the neighborhood can be heard. The place was functional. Good for one or two person. It has all you need if you want to explore Lisbon. Close to everything- supermarket, restaurants, viewpoints, transportation. I saved on communicating and got my daily exercise by walking. Filipa also responded to all my questions immediately. The downside is however the prominent smell of I think the sewage. It bothered me during my last day. If you are not sensitive to smell, this should not be an issue. The washroom was very near to the bed. Small but good enough for me. Thanks!
