A lovely apartment in an excellent location. The area of Alfama is the oldest in Lisbon, and all the major sites downtown are within walking distance.
Else greeted us at the apartment and offered to start us off with a bottle of wine, which was a kind touch.
The apartment was clean, and the TV room included a sofa that folded down into a bed. The kitchen had all standard amenities, and the bathroom, although small, had everything necessary. Be ready for a standard European hand-held showerhead without a wall-mounted holder.
The check-out time is listed as flexible, but do check with Elsa in advance. We were asked the day before checkout what time we were leaving, responded that we were planning to leave in the afternoon, and were told that we needed to clear out by 11 and get our bags out by 12!since she would arrive at 11 to clean. This was somewhat of an inconvenience because we had already set our plans with our host in our next destination amd had to change them up on him. Also, no one had shown up by 11:20 on our day of departure, so we just left in order to catch our train.
