The flat is very well located (5 minutes by foot to railway/metro/bus station) and has a nice atmosphere. You'll see the river with ships and yachts (and we saw the moonlight reflecting on the water :)) . Just opposite the front door you have a grocery, ice-cream, gift shop, bakery and lot of restaurant and bars.
Our host (Ines' father) greeted us exactly on the hour we had agreed before. He explained us whole the equipment in the flat and described what is in the neighbourhood. Email/SMS communication were on time and there weren't any problems in that scope.
The place is clean and bright (except for the bedroom which don't have the window - the best place for the person who like to sleep ;)). Internal windows in bathroom and room show some kind of vertical tunnel in the building (sorry, I don't know a proper word) which provides the light and sounds of everyday life. However, I don't mean the noise, there are only few flats around, so you can hear as someone makes a breakfast or something. This is typical for old districts as Alfama where the houses are very close to each other. So if you feel good with some city sounds, you can choose Alfama and this flat.
Nevertheless, the windows don't face the street so you'll sleep calmly.
The flat is equipped according to the description, so I don't need to write more.
There are some small disadvantages but overall impression is very good:
- the bathroom is not for tall persons, you need to take care on your head when entering/leaving the bath
- the stairway (2nd floor) is very sheer so it's not the place for persons with limited mobility (as whole Alfama, I think)
- we have some troubles with turning the key in the lock, maybe it needs some machine oil or repair.
That's all, thank you for hosting and see you in Lisbon!
