Rui is a friendly and helpful host. The small but cosy apartment is exactly as described. Mateus wine and a few beers in the fridge as a welcome. There's no AC but even with 37° outside the bedroom was not too warm during the night. The sliding door to the shower is fairly tight, which may be challenging for the traveller with a few extra pounds :). Rui let me have a free online wifi router that allows you to enjoy wifi throughout the cityout—and avoid horrendously expensive roaming charges. A true life-saver!
Flexible check-out arrangement. Plenty of restaurants in the Alfama area, all within easy walking distance. Typical Lisbon tram just 50 m away. I recommend Elsa and Rui's B&B wholeheartedly.
