The apartment was perfect for our short break, really well equipped, in a great location with real charm .It was up 3 flights of stairs with no elevator , which wasn't a problem for us , but might be for some people.Sara was an excellent host , warm and friendly and really helpful .She went out of her way to make us welcome , even down to borrowing 2 umbrellas from a friend for us as it was raining when we arrived! I would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment for anyone wanting to stay in the charming district of Alfama .
