We stayed in the flat for 5 nights with our 3 month old. It is a well decorated place and Ricky was very welcoming. The lift was essential with the luggage and stroller. Plenty of room for our pack n play and a washing machine was helpful with a baby. It is in a busy area which is nice and very close to many historical sights. If you have a car be prepared to look for parking and walk a bit. We always found something but not quickly, up by the church or down by the train station was best. The windows kept it pretty quiet in the flat but it was also great to open them up and hear all of the city action. A few notes, the bed was very firm and we like a soft mattress so we woke up a bit sore. The shower flow is too much for the drain so you have to turn the pressure down to prevent overflow. The floor was dirty, not to the eye but walking around with bare feet inside made our feet dirty. At first we thought we had dirty feet from the streets or our shoes but after showering and walking in the apartment they became dirty. Maybe just a note for the cleaning company. All together we had a great stay and would recommend this flat for a fun time in Alfama!
