Great location at a good value! The Alfama neighborhood has a lot going on. It is a beautiful and historic setting, but is not ideal for the elderly or handicapped as the winding, uneven streets are not easy to traverse.
The home was a nice size for one or two people, but more than that would be too intimate. There is nice clean, drinkable tap water in the apartment and a powerful water heater, but the hot water will run out if you don't ration it.
Make sure you bring earplugs for sleeping as the Alfama has a lively nightlife and it tends to be pretty hot so you will want to keep the windows open.
André is a generous host who respects his guests' space while assuring his assistance if required. We did not require it at all because he set us up for success!
