Me and my partner stayed here for 3 months. It was a lovely place to have as a home in Lisbon. Everything was very clean, there were lots of towels and the shower was nice and hot.
The kitchen is full of herbs and spices as well as every utensil you'd need. There's a gas hob as well as an oven and we used both a lot without any problems.
When we first moved in I was having trouble sleeping on the bed but Marta fixed that as soon as we mentioned it. She seemed very approachable and happy to help whenever we had questions.
Alfama felt like a safe area to live in, there's locals and tourists around day and night, with plenty of restaurants and minimarts close-by. Several of the locals came to recognize us during our stay and were very friendly. There's also the sound of constant Fado music, which was pleasant to hear when walking outside or sitting by the window.
We work from our laptops and the table was big enough for us both to work at comfortably.
Check-in was done by Helena who was very sweet. She was also the cleaner and we met her on several occassions, although she didn't speak much English we communicated well.
You can walk to the nearest metro (Terreiro do Paço) in about 15 minutes, which goes everywhere in the city. Or you can walk to the tram stop by the cathedral in about 10 minutes. The main area of town is about a 15 minute walk. Santa Apolónia station is about a 15 minute walk too and that takes you to Porto.
