We had a great stay in Rute's appartment in Alfama, Lisbon. We were welcomed by Mario who escorted us from the Santa Apolonia Station to the appartment. There was a bottle of wine to welcome us, very thoughtful! The appartment is on the second floor and is really cosy. In the morning the sun shone through the window and we enjoyed our breakfast in the sun :-) Everything you need is in the appartment: towels, linen, a hairdryer and a fully equiped kitchen. The location is in the middle of the narrow streets and alleys of Alfama. You cannot reach it by car or taxi but it's a 10-minute-walk from the nearest Metro-stations (Santa Apolonia or Terreiro do Paco, both equally near we think). If you have problems with walking steps and hilly streets, this appartment might be not the best choice. There are many restaurants (also Fado!) in the neighbourhood and the city centre is about a 15-minute walk. We really enjoyed our stay and give it a big recommendation!
