We LOVED our stay in Sofia's apartment. The location is ideal - Alfama is home to many restaurants, some nice shops, fado restaurants and is centrally located within easy walking distance to two train stations, grocery stores, the waterfront and many local attractions. And the apartment is exactly as shown - beautiful view of the river and the ships that come and go. Very bright, airy living room and dining area. Very nice kitchen with coffee maker, toaster, dishwasher (Sofia even supplied some tabs for the dishwasher). We frequently cooked our own meals so we could have used more cooking items but the kitchen was more than adequately stocked for a European Airbnb. An extra bonus was the washing machine (Sofia provided some washing tabs for clothes) - if you are staying for a week or more, it is so nice to have a washing machine and a drying line with supplied clothes pins. Sofia also provided many rolls of toilet paper (not always provided in other places) and the bedding and towel supplies were perfect.
Two things to be aware of. The apartment is a four-floor walk-up. There is adequate lighting and a good railing, but there is no elevator, so you need to consider if you want to/can walk the stairs. They aren't steep but they are stairs. I think if you can walk the city, you can walk the stairs without a problem. Just something to consider.
The second thing is a plus and a minus. This area of Lisbon has great restaurants and fado bars. This means that people will be out eating, drinking and listening to music sometimes late into the night. This also means you will hear some noise from these establishments. I think this is typical for all apartments in Alfama (as well as either interesting neighborhoods in Barcelona and other European cities). The laughing/singing didn't bother me, but if you are very sensitive to noise, you should pick a totally different neighborhood that, while quieter, will likely be more sterile!!!! Again, this is a personal preference and something to consider.
Sofia was also able to arrange transport for us from the airport to the apartment – this was very helpful to get us to our home base after which we could figure out the trams, Uber, trains etc.
Great apartment – highly recommend!
