This is a great apartment. Everything was exactly as it looked in the photographs, the kitchen was well stocked with all the dishes and equipment we needed for self catering, the beds were comfortable, and the shower was great. Andre was very nice to let us drop our bags off prior to the official check in time, and he checked in with us during our stay to make sure everything was going well. There was a large festival going on outside the apartment, with loud music blasting until early in the morning, but we were warned of that before even booking the apartment. I imagine other times of year it is much more peaceful. All in all, a great place to stay in Alfama!
