We had a great time at Alexandra and Pedro's place in the Alfama. The reviews were pretty accurate. It was easy to bring our bags straight up from the street next to the building, although we had easy to carry duffel bags. The unit is really well done and fit my family of four perfectly. The hot water will run out, so if you have 4, make those showers quick! We loved the feel of the place and being right in the middle of the action. The windows are great though. When they are shut it is very quiet. We would definitely stay here again.
