This is a well located, brightly decorated little flat whose location can't really be beaten: you're right in the middle of Alfama, one of Lisbon's oldest and most characterful neighbourhoods (albeit now filled with tourists probably doing exactly what you're doing). Despite an overexcitable yappy little dog guarding its territory from the balcony above, I also found it quiet. It is small, given the size of the original buildings: perfect for one or two people – possibly a stretch for three for longer than a few days.

People have mentioned the bathroom: yes, it's tiny but to your average inhabitant of this poor quarter over the centuries it would have represented the height of luxury (or something suspicious and wet), so count yourself lucky! The problem with it is that the seal between the shower tray and the rest of the room has obviously worn, so there was a minor flood every time I took a shower. This need to be fixed before it is let out again. Oh, and the strangely switch-less lamp by the side of the bed wasn't working. Such issues aside, I'd definitely recommend staying here. It's one of the more characterful AirBnB's I've stayed in and will add something to your stay.
