Elsa's place was exactly as described and photographed. The location is fantastic for exploring Alafama. Communication was excellent.
Of note, the a/c was broken in the kitchen, but the one in the bedroom was more than adequate for cooling the place down. Also, if you're a light sleeper, bring ear plugs because there is a fado bar that backs up near the bedroom and is open until 1am.
Would still recommend, even with those two caveats.
