I really loved this place. I found it both peaceful and very easy to go to many of the restaurants in Alfama as well as it was a 15ish minute walk to the praca de comercios and close to the metro as well. A couple of items to mention: the washing machine was very efficient but I was drying clothes on the furniture/shower and it was rainy during my trip so it took a couple days to dry-- a drying rack/line would have been great. Also an extra blanket would have been nice because at night it was cold, even with the heater. But these things would not stop me and nor should they stop anyone from staying at this place which had so much character from the obviously older construction elements in the house/apartment and lots of light despite having one skylight and window, it never felt dark. Also Maria and Felipe were very helpful and had very detailed instructions for getting into the apartment as well as great recommendations for food and general enjoyment. Do not hesitate to rent here.
