Silvia is a very warm and welcoming host and we really enjoyed staying in her beautiful home. The flat is on the fifth floor of the building with a great view of the plaza and water. We only had carry-on suitcases so bringing them up the stairs wasn't a problem, but it might be hard if you have more luggage. The bedroom is clean and comfortable with plenty of space to lay out your luggage. The location of the flat makes it easy to explore Alfama and walk to other parts of the city. Santa Apolonia station is a 20 minute walk away with no hills so it was convenient to arrive and leave by train. We'd highly recommend Silvia's home!
