Apartment was very clean and nicely located. There is no AC however there is enough wind from the river to keep the room cool. Be careful on the steps in the building as there is no elevator. Very good place to discover old city, especially Alfama district. Unfortunately we didn't get a teapot while our 9 days stay, but we managed without one :) Never met Hervé himself, but his friends arranged check in/out and were really flexible with our time frame.
