My husband and I had a good stay at Ines' place. We were able to reach her mom and set up a time to meet at the apartment that we had to ourselves.
It was a little tricky if you are traveling with heavier luggage as you need to go up a very steep hill from the train station.
The apartment is clean and met our needs. It has some updated furnishings and a nice view of the water from the living room. If you are 6'3" and over like my husband however, you will need to bend down in some places ex: shower, door ways and some lower areas but it was a little cute and unique place to stay.
The stairs are very steep so be careful and you are able to hear people opening and closing their doors.
It was also very hot when we were there so we had the portable A/C running for most of the duration of our stay.
All in all, it was comfortable, close to transportation, shops, restaurants and places to see around Alfama. Thank you!
