Alfama is an absolutely beautiful neighborhood to stay in and we are so happy we stayed here instead of downtown. With that being said, this was a lovely apartment with two comfortable beds and a beautiful bathroom. It was just as nice as my home back in the states. However, there are several flights of stairs to climb to get to the apartment- we even had a bit of trouble with our bags. I would not recommend for the elderly. We understand this is a new listing so I’m assuming that is why there was a coffee maker but no coffee and a laundry machine but no laundry soap... we made daily trips to cafes for our coffee and just ran our clothes through hot water to “clean” them. Check in was very easy and the host was nice enough to explain all about Alfama to us. A bit of construction noises each day from 900 on and some strange noises at night... besides that we loved the area and would stay here again. Thank you.
