First of all even though we never actually met her, Irina was a proffesional, pleasant and helpfull host from initial booking all trough our arrival and stay. Place is well located in Old Alfama quarter, few minutes (5-8) walk from metro/train station. Location enabled us to get to the place trough a different small street making it a nice experience in seeing the neighbourhood. 3 doors from ours there was a fado restaurant so you could enjoy fado with a glass of wine on the doorstep .Also main city center is half an hour walk away if you are up for a walk. Place is seemingly recently refurbished and nicely equipped with all you might need. Although cupboards and fridge were empty of groceries there are a few small shops quite nearby and quite a number of small local restaurants and tapas places. What we did not like though was the ever present smell or musk of dampness and mold in the apartment(not visible anywhere though). Supporting the presence of moisture was evident from many dehumidifiers placed around the apartment. Smell kind if gets into the clothes and i know the building its rather old something should be done about it as it might also present health risk. All in all nice value for money with a great proffesional host.
