Wow! Location could not be better. Apartment is very cozy. Water pressure is great. Clean. Convenient. Right in the heart of Alfama. We stayed for almost two weeks (we have a 4 year old as well) and had no issues with outside noise. Felt perfectly safe. Also we were a bit worried about lack of A/C in this heat, but the way the apartment is set up we used the fan on the lowest setting and it was perfect! If you have mobility issues, the stairs leading up the actual apartment might be challenging. Otherwise, getting to the apartment from the road is less than 5 minute slow walk. Doing it with lots of luggage was no problem. The host even met us by the road to assist - BONUS! Cannot stress enough that location and responsiveness of the host simply could not have been better. Would recommend this to everyone.
