We loved spending a week at Rita's apartment, perfectly located in the midst of Alfama. Rita was super responsive and flexible with our check-in time. The apartment is bright and cheerful with a comfy bed and hot shower. Other reviews have mentioned the noisy upstairs neighbours -- we certainly heard heavy footfalls, but only between the hours of about 7:30 a.m. and 8 p.m., so they never disturbed our sleep. Don't let that turn you off staying in such a lovely spot! Rita's place has a well-appointed kitchen, washer, and small workspace, all of which we used and appreciated. Thank you again, Rita!
