This place is in a great location right in the heart of the Alfama neighborhood. There are giant door/windows to a balcony you can step out onto and watch the trams go by below. The shared courtyard is very nice and we spent many evenings sitting out enjoying the spring weather of Lisbon. We usually have low expectations for the shower/bath area in Europe; but the shower in this place was a welcome surprise - the shower is very nice. My only minor criticism is the wireless internet is okay; but a little slower than what we're used to; but you're on vacation and should put those devices away. We loved this place and would definitely stay here again on our next trip to Lisbon.
