The apartment was clean and exactly as pictured. It is on the smaller size but for 2 travelers it was a perfect amount of space as it is very well laid out. We felt very comfortable during our stay. Checking in and out was a breeze. I really liked the location as well, as it was a short walk to the main restaurants and shops, but far enough away that we could get a quiet nights sleep. (The main area in Alfama is quite loud)
