The apartment is everything as advertised. It is in the heart of Alfama. It was great for a short stay.
Access: It is up a hill and then up a set of stairs in an alleyway and there are more stairs as it is a 3rd floor apartment so if you have mobility issues take note.
Cleanliness: the apartment was immaculate!
Comfort: the A/C was fantastic. The bed comfortable/soft and the apartment felt safe. The shutters kept the apartment nice and dark. The shower was quite snug though. I'm a plus size gal although short and it was not the most luxurious showe I've ever taken but it got the job done. If you are large or very tall it may be problematic.
Functionality: the kitchen was adorable. I enjoyed the nêsperresso machine, there were even pods for me to use. The kitchen although it was sufficient I would not cook an extensive meal in it. The washing machine was nice to have. I would have liked an instruction manual as these European machines are foreign to me and not self explanatory. There are clothespins under the sink and you can hang the clothes on the line out of the window.
Host: Christel was very responsive and accommodating. She was courteous enough to extend our checkout time.
Overall: I would recommend the apartment! It was great for a couple!
