The location is great. Even though you are in the middle of Lisbon, a big city, once you are behind the walls within Alfama, you only hear birds chirping among the trees just outside the windows. For a one-bedroom the place is on the small side--I think very common for Alfama--but the high ceilings give the place a larger feel and the windows let in a lot of light. The decor was very cool. My only complaint is the bed mattress.
