Alessandra and Amer are superfriendly, and helped me with anything I asked, made me feel very welcome. The appartment feels newly rennovated and is white painted wich is very nice and fresh. But this area, Alfama, has small streets with the buildings very close wich makes it a bit hard for the sunlight to really enter the apartment, so it can sometimes feel a bit dark.
The area is filled with lots of tourists and some local wierdos. It's preatty crowded, wich can be both good and bad depending on what you like.
I like the appartment and the hosts. I actually don't like the area that much, Alfama is not the "hip" place to be at, but then again, it is very close to the citycentre, and close to the water were it's lovely to go for a run or a jog, so I guess there's always pro and cons. If you are more of a Brooklyn-kind of kid, I would recommend areas like Bairo Alto or Princip Real.
