The apartment is huge, cozy, gets great natural light, is quiet for sleeping (with the windows shut), and had a full kitchen. The street isn't cute, but the apartment makes up for it, and has a cool view of the aqueducts too! We had previously stayed in a centrally located, tiny Alfama apartment - our advice is if you want to be more comfortable and don’t mind walking/taking the bus into the city, choose Maria’s apartment over one in a more desirable neighborhood! Maria was also responsive to my messages and met us at our designated time to get the keys.
