Cynthia's place is at a very good location, in the heart of Alfama, close to shops, viewpoints and transport. Though the flat wasn't squeaky clean, definitely not hotel level, but important parts, the bedroom and bathroom very clean and I'm fine with that. I was there in March and it took the little heater 2 days to heat up the place, but after that it was okay. I guess in the warm months, it's very refreshing to come back to a cool apartment after a long day of roaming Lisbon.
