We had a great time at Rui's place, the check-in and communication was easy, the apartment was great for exploring the winding streets of Alfama and to get to Baixa, Bairro-Alto and the Castle etc., it is a little walk to the train station but the transport links across the whole city are exceptional so is no harm (Uber is a great help!), the room is quaint and cosy with everything you need and the view is beautiful. However, it is not accessible by car and is up a lot of hilly, winding streets so not recommended if you're unfit or injuries! We were surprised to arrive during the Feast of St Anthony, the sardine festival, where this was a fantastic atmosphere and wonderful to have on the doorstep, it went on the whole time we were there with really loud music and made the streets even harder to traverse, I even tripped and sprained my ankle which made things very difficult! The parties went on until 2am most nights and even with the windows shut, it was too noisy to sleep. It was unbearable to have the windows open which meant it was ridiculously hot, which we had to do as the smell of cooking sardines stank out the room and all of our clothes, meaning we also couldn't hang anything else to dry. During the day it was fine, so if you are a night owl/party animal or there is nothing happening, it is absolutely ideal.
