Pedro's mother most kindly welcomed us, as he was at work, and though her English is better than my Portuguese, we did rely on a lot of sign language. The apartment was as described, scrubbed as clean as can be, and very nicely laid out and appointed. Kitchen was large, complete and equipped to cook if one wished. The location is dead in the heart of Alfama, with all that entails. Great place to be, a hilly hike to reach on foot, and not good for anyone bringing their own car. Taxis can find it (Pedro helped book one for our early airport departure) and the tram stops at the front door. It was a great stay and I would go back.
