Our stay of a week at this apartment has been everything we wanted and more. It looks just like the photos and the neighborhood is adorable. In a way the apartment is like Alfama itself, quirky and charming - while at the same time having a super-comfortable bed and great shower with plenty of hot water. Also, if you haven't realized it before you come, you will when you get here - the narrow street mean there is just about *no* traffic noise at all! People play saxophone or converse with each other and there is the sound of fado drifting in some nights, really lovely. Local shop owners are very sweet, especially a little grocery/convenience store near the Sé (cathedral) with 19th-century glass-front cases where we bought supplies several times. I also want to give the highest recommendation to Sergio, who was waiting at the apartment when we arrived, having opened the windows and set out wine, cheese and crackers. He spent time going through many recommendations of things to do, showing us where they were on a map of the city. Also, we had a couple of small questions during our stay and he was super-helpful. Overall just a top-notch experience that I cannot recommend highly enough.
