The location is superb, close to the castle in the old Alfama district which is full of character. Plenty of restaurants and activity nearby but the apartment itself was tranquil. The apartment needs attention in a few areas: an information/ instruction booklet would be useful; the place is a little tired and needs some TLC including a thorough clean, new bedding/linen and the drain smell sorted. If these things were done the place would be amazing. It has wonderful views - of the facade of the Menino de Deus church from the front and over the rooftops of Alfama from the back.
