Ines is a very responsive host. She was courteous enough to address all my questions very quickly via messaging and her listing is true to the pictures. The area Alfama is a historical district and quite walkable with many conveniences nearby.
Couple things I want to note for future guests:
- The area is not reachable directly by Uber. You will get dropped off on the main street and have to walk two staircases on a steep incline to reach the apartment.
- Once arriving at the apartment, the main building door is tricky to open and requires some maneuvering with the key. Ines provided an instruction video but still frustrating to deal with.
- The apartment is located on the 3rd floor with a winding staircase that barely fits a carry on luggage. You will need to be very careful carrying a luggage up the stairs.
I am around 177 cm tall and found the upstairs sleeping area a bit tight but serviceable. Same for the bathroom. Taller guests may have more difficulty.
