The apartment was everything as expected. Very clean and perfectly presented. Good range of cooking utensils and equipment for eating in. Great balconies for taking in the sounds and sights of Alfama. Bathroom was new and superb. Bed very comfortable. Location of the apartment is fantastic, being off a secluded side street from a main Alfama artery. Very quiet and safe neighbourhood. Great restaurants and food options within a few hundred meters - cafes, bars, butchers, bakery, fishmongers. There are some steep steps up to the apartment but that should be expected if you are thinking of residing in Alfama.

Isabel is a fantastic host. Upon arrival, Isabel made us feel at home in the apartment and provided recommendations. Throughout the whole process she was excellent with communication and very prompt - she even arranged a very early taxi to take us to the airport on our departure. I could not recommend her and her apartment highly enough.
