Beautiful apartment with a fantastic terrace overlooking the river and up into the Alfama area. Excellent location near to the action. We wanted to stay in Alfama and are grateful we chose Alex's place because the apartment is at the BOTTOM of the hill, which means it's nice to get home to after a day of sightseeing.
I must just mention that it is on the 6th floor so it's a slog to climb up the stairs but it's better than a hill (at least in my mind!) With that to consider I don't think this place would be great if you have a disability or are elderly/with children but for us (a reasonably young couple) it was manageable.
It was very well styled throughout the apartment with anything you would need for your trip, although we didn't put yeh kitchen to much use apart from opening some beers and enjoying them on the terrace.
Alex was a great communicative host and we would stay here again.
