The apartment is in an ideal location in the heart of Alfama, close to two metro stations, a supermarket and local restaurants & bars. You can easily walk to all the local attractions.
We stayed almost a month and it really felt like home. I had no major issues and I would be happy to recommend the apartment.
Communication with Rui was fantastic and we had a very warm welcome. He was also very flexible with the check-out time which we really appreciated.
As others have already mentioned, the apartment is darker than it appears in the photos, however this was not really a problem...there is a small balcony where you can enjoy plenty natural light.
There is a restaurant below the apartment which means it can be quite noisy at night, this is usually restricted to the weekends or holidays. We were visiting in June when there are a lot of celebrations. If you are visiting during this time you might want to stay further out of town if noise is an issue for you! (Although personally we loved the atmosphere and having all the activity on our doorstep).
The only downside was that the apartment was lacking basic essentials, it would have been nice to have soap, cooking oil, toilet tissue etc
Overall we were very happy and had a great long stay, I am happy to recommend both the hosts and the accommodation.
Obrigado! :)
