Maria's space is in the beginning of the Alfama neighborhood within 5 minutes walk to a major train station. Check in and out is seamless as you get a code to open the door. The place is very small, but all furniture items fit in it quite well. Be mindful that Alfama neighborhood does involve many stairs on uneven ground outside - so this is not very suitable for those with walking issues. Maria is very communicative, responding to and dealing with questions/issues quickly. The only miss in the place is the kitchen doesn't have any oil, salt and pepper for basic cooking. All of this needs to be purchased to really cook a meal.
