Rui & Elsa’s home is a nice apartment with an enough space to move around and enjoy. There was good communication with them and when there was a slight misunderstanding they were able to solve it. Four flights of stairs up to the apartment gets you prepared for the outside streets of Alfama! Pleasant historical surrounding streets, delicious food in restaurants close by and close enough to attraction sights by foot or Uber. Only pitfall we would mention is the occasional smell in the mornings when you first run the taps - I believe was the pipes but after a while this drifted away.
Last things to note - The pre-information Rui and Elsa provide in the Apartment Manual was highly useful, we were able to book a boat tour and use the luggage hold service.
Thanks for welcoming us in your home.
