The place was ok, but we decided to leave after one night. The aparment is on street level and the walls are really thin, and the bedroom is right next to the street. You can hear absolutely everything from the streets and because of the lack of AC, the bedroom was both hot and noisy. We happened to be in Lisbon during a festive season and there were loud speakers attached to the walls on the opposite buildings. The music played so loudly it was impossible to relax in the aparment. Of course the festive season is not a fault of the hosts but they said we should get an apartment far from the city center if we wanted a peaceful stay. But there are aparments in the neighbourhood that are not on street level and don't have such thin walls, and luckily it all ended up nicely for us and we found a more suitable place where we could have a good night's sleep! :) I think Tomek and Mariana's place is for the people coming to party in Alfama and do not mind the noise or the lack of privacy since the windows are to the streets also. Absolutely if you are a light sleeper, maybe consider another options!
