The apartment is in the heart of Alfama. There was a month long festival where they pump music from the speakers in the streets until midnight and this surrounds the apartment . It was fun and exciting at first but after a few hours it makes you feel a bit nutty. I feel like the host should have let us know about this beforehand. Apart from that, house was comfortable and suited our group of four well. However, the beds upstairs were very uncomfortable and they should probably replace the mattresses.
