We arrived in Lisbon midday. Rui left clear instructions for entering the apartment. There was no lift which created a challenge to climb 3 flights of narrow, winding and uneven steps. The apartment had nice views as posted; however it was not luxurious.
The area felt safe during the day; however at night the streets leading up to the Alfama were dark and sketchy. It is advisable to either take a taxi or uber at night to or from the apartment. In addition there are no lights when you enter the building.
