We had a great stay at Rute and Paulo’s place. It’s a lovely flat, nicely styled and close to everything. The Alfama area is close to many of the main attractions of Lisbon and there were lots of bars and restaurants close by. We were greeted with a bottle of wine which we drank looking out over the street below from our little balcony. The stairs are steep as mentioned, but if you don’t rush they are completely fine. The kitchen and bathroom are accessed via one of the bathrooms which didn’t bother us but it is something to note. We didn’t meet the hosts but their friend checked us in and was very helpful with lots of tips. Definitely recommend and would stay again!
