The apartment was delightful, with a very pleasant living space where you could relax from the busyness of Lisbon. It was very pretty, spacious and with a great kitchen, a great base to explore the historic district and was close to lots of bars and restaurants. There are mini-supermarkets everywhere, one just a minute from the apartment, where you can buy bread, milk, fruit, wine! The streets of Alfama are a bit like a maze, so I would recommend getting a map, or having data on your phone, in case you get a little lost. Our host was very pleasant and gave us lots of advice on where to go and what to do.
