The apartment is located on a narrow, calm street away from the busiest tourist area, but still in the heart of Alfama. The streets are very narrow so reserve some extra time if you're arriving with a car (I would rather recommend to use public transportation). The room is cozy and clean as is the rest of the apartment. It is good for both long and short stays! Self-check-in was flexible and easy as the communication with Marissa was nice and clear.
