The apartment is in a great area, really beautiful and well placed for exploring the city. It is as nice as the photos suggest, tangled in the beautiful narrow streets of Alfama and next to a lovely church. The only slight drawback was that it is a bit of a noisy place with thin walls/floors and there was a bit of noise from the bar opposite, but it didn't bother us, just be careful if you're a light sleeper. Other than that it was clean, tidy, gets plenty of sunlight - it is a steal for the price.
